Support young bloggers!
When I was home in Vancouver, I had a chance to catch up (briefly) with my cousin Nathan. Nathan's in the process of doing an MA in Political Science at UBC, and apparently rarely has time for socializing, so I count myself lucky that he took a break from writing to have supper with the folks and me.
Anyways - it turns out that Nate has recently started blogging, and so for any of you who are interested at all in the politics of the Middle East or religion, you should check out his site. Also, on his site, he's listed the blog of a friend who is commenting on the upcoming Canadian election. I can only assume she is a political science junkie like Nate, but her site looks pretty good. You can check it out here.
There are all kinds of blogs out there, not all of them public. Reading a blog is an interesting way to get to know someone... If other bloggers are at all like me, then you don't really think about "who" you are talking to.... you just say what is on your mind.
Oh.... and if anyone is really diligent in reading this site - you'll notice the posting that made fun of George Bush doesn't work. The link couldn't be updated, and the new things posted on the page I had it linked to are slightly questionable. Especially for someone like me. Or is linking to sites that advertise porn ok? Just kidding.... and my apologies to anyone who noticed. I tried to just delete that posting, but it has already been archived. Oh well.

Thanks for the link!
I love the quote in one of your earlier entries: The values of intimacy, relatedness, responsibility, caring and
compassion are erotic values arising from sensory feeling and emotional
connectedness. While one may want to argue that moral agency demands both
types of values, erotic values have been dismissed in traditional moral theory
at least partially because they muddy up the water: they create ambiguous and
fluid boundaries by acknowledging the reality of change and
interconnectedness. The flesh-and-blood presence of eros in the world
cannot be reduced to the formalized abstractions of law or mathematics.
I have one or two fantastic references on eros and educational philosophy that I'm itching to dive into.
