March 10, 2012

On my Facebook wall, an argument is taking place, largely among men, about whether the government should support the cost of birth control for women who can’t afford it. The most vociferous arguers say that “handouts” cause the “welfare mentality” and that we women ought not to be spoiled children who expect our government to […]

Another Social Network? Sure. Why Not?

March 8, 2012

Yesterday I was talking by phone (how odd) to an entrepreneur who has built a niche social network, and I was telling him how difficult it would be to get funding for yet another social network, and how little we needed one, and …blah,blah,blah.
