I just finished reading Dave Cullen’s amazing expose Columbine and I am reeling.

I am not a fundamentalist about anything.  I will always reserve the right to change my ideas but I will never change my core values.  In college, I avoided thinking about politics at all; opting instead to get my spiritual and artistic core values down.  After matriculation though, I made it my [...]

Check out this quote in the September 2008 edition of National Geographic in the Letters Section. He is writing in response to last month’s amazing feature about China:
In 1998 I was a 19-year-old student in Hangzhou, China. The doors were “open,” but no one really had come through them [...]
