Remaining in the center means abandoning all actions that carry me into any extreme. Good, bad, right, wrong, liberal, conservative, etc. Up comes the fear of being merely a bland person. Nevertheless,in the center, there isn’t one “side” that’s good and one side that’s bad. There are no sides. There are only people – sentient, […]
I could, if I wanted to, get very excited about Reval news. It seems genuinely close but somehow a deeper layer of me is telling me not to. I keep telling myself: All I need is the 800#. All the rest is optional. What seems more important at this particular moment is to take back […]

A minor row has occurred in Canada over whether border-security people have the right to look at an individual’s cellphone or laptop. A lawyer, refusing to give border security his passwords, had his devices confiscated. He argued confidentiality on the basis of solicitor/client privilege. Others are arguing freedom of speech.
