modern marriage
i think its just plain silly that a person cannot marry any person they want to, if they want to. here are two videos that make good cases.
the first is a 19 year old, very well-spoken zach wahls, who was raised with his sister by two moms.
the second is a lovely short film with a powerful message. it was filmed in sydney over the last month (see luna park's clown with its mo?) and shows off the city's beauty...

spend time instead of money
very nice things to keep in mind this holiday season:
some links:
etsy - "Buy directly from small creative businesses from all over the world. With over 11 million handmade and vintage items, there really is something unique for everyone."
kiva - "We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. "
UPDATE: as pointed out in the comments, i advocate not creating debts, but then advertise Kiva ("loans that change lives"). i'll explain the reason for my seeming contradiction... i learned of Kiva a couple years ago when my cousin donated money to it in my name for my birthday. i got to go through the website and choose exactly whose project in the world my $25 went to support. i chose to contribute to the $500 asked for by a cambodian woman who needed some equipment for her family farm. after the $500 was raised, she repaid the debt to Kiva, who put my $25 back in my account and i got to choose someone else to support! i have continued this pattern of choosing a person, getting repaid, and selecting again. it has been interesting to learn what people around the world really need.
thanks G4! ;)
