4000 US soldiers dead. The number of Iraqi's - citizens, children - not even quantified. I challenge you to type the numbers... I almost gave up at 282, thinking this is a waste of time, then reminded myself that each one was an individual, with a family, who had dreams and aspirations. Who was 1483, 2567, 321, 3999? What was their story? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 ...

Watching the troubles of the economy, some observers don't want a bailout for either Wall St. or stressed homeowners who find themselves in over their heads. The phrase "moral hazard" is being tossed around as shorthand for "You took the risk, now take your lumps." It would seem that the ground is littered with moral hazards.

Why Wright Versus Wrong Matters

I walked into a room where my mother sat, taking just a moment for herself. We were in Costa Rica for a conference, and until 15 minutes before, she had watched my kids for two days so I could attend meetings. She was finally taking a moment for herself.

This is my mother. This is what a Mother represents and means to me.

Full of love. Always sacrificing herself. Always willing to give with no expectation to receive.

This is my mother.
