Not long after I wrote In Holy Matrimony, my previous opinion piece on gay marriage, a new idea started developing in my mind. That idea grew, developed, and has since become an integral piece of my opinion on this controversial issue. I am interested to see what all of you—liberals and conservatives—think of it.
Governors Launch Effort to Improve High School Education
“America’s high schools are obsolete. By obsolete, I don’t just mean that they’re broken, flawed, or underfunded, though a case could be made for every one of those points. By obsolete, I mean our high schools—even when they’re working as designed—cannot teach all our students what they need to know today.”—Bill Gates.

A really good editorial in the Wall St. Journal this morning about a trend I’ve been noticing—anti-war folks coming (slowly) to the grudging conclusion that Bush may just be right about this whole war in Iraq.
My First Time in the Pentagon
So I had a pretty interesting day (aside from the snow). I had a meeting in the Pentagon.
Most of the people I deal with are either based in Crystal City (across the freeway from the Pentagon) or they come to the office in Crystal City when they want to have a meeting. As far as I know, this was my first time ever visiting the Pentagon itself (the first since I’ve been old enough to remember, anyway).

The thing is that there aren’t a lot of new developments in the life area. Since Melissa’s been quite busy with her senior thesis project, much of the wedding planning has been on hold. Outside of that, I’ve just been trucking along with my regular activities—working, writing, poetry-organizing, churching, eating, and sleeping (although I do still have some of that pesky wedding stuff going on too).
