Bridget Jones - Ruining families everywhere
Who's to blame for the demise of the nuclear family? Why, Bridget Jones, of course. Wait ... what? A fictional character responsible for breaking up families? That's what David Willetts, who recently spoke at the UK's Conservative party conference ...Parents ask that their daughter be treated the same
We all, I'm sure, do our best to treat our children fairly and equally. It is, really, the right thing to do. We don't give one kid a pony for their birthday and the other a pair of socks, we don't take one on vacation and leave the other with the ...

Pick a surname, any surname
When we got married, Rachel kept her last name the same. So did I. She felt strongly that she didn't want to change her name and I didn't care either way. Plus, as a school teacher, she didn't want to confuse her students by changing names. At her ...
Lost in the fifties tonight
When Ronnie Milsap recorded the song Lost in the Fifties Tonight back in the mid-eighties, I don't think he was thinking of returning to a pre-Rosa set of rules for school buses. Having been born blind, he probably has little or no concept of skin ...
