Recently while discussing the political knowledge, or lack thereof, of the average U.S. citizen, a thought occurred to me. Ideally, this is how it should be. Government in America was designed to be small, very limited and irrelevant to the day-to-day life of the average American.

Ayelet Waldman Stands By Essay That Infuriated Moms Nearly A Decade Ago
In 2005, mother of four Ayelet Waldman wrote an essay published by The New York Times that ignited a firestorm of controversy in the parenting community. "I love my husband more than I love my children," she boldly proclaimed in the piece. Even as she soon found herself facing down more than a few angry mothers, Waldman stood behind her words and further explained that her children were not the center of her universe -- the key reason, she added, why she and her husband enjoyed a passionate sex life. Waldman's oldest child is now in college, which has only confirmed for Waldman the importance of maintaining her romantic relationship. "My husband and I are realizing that in the end, this house is going to be empty but for the two of us," she says. "Thank God we still love each other and love making love to each other because that's who's going to be left."

Bad information on Hobby Lobby case gains traction
The Internet and the 24-hour news cycle has made facts more readily accessible to everyone than ever before. A smartphone is an encyclopedia in your hand, unimaginable just a few generations ago. But in a bizarre dichotomy, misinformation continues to proliferate, particularly in matters related to science, health and politics. Some of it is simple human error or misinterpretation of events. But I am increasingly convinced that many commonly-held misconceptions are actively propagated by bad actors.

Homeopaths vs. Ebola virus hemorrhagic feverWith increasing outbreaks of Ebola, the fear mongering is going to reach extreme levels, and the quacks always take advantage of that. What they don’t understand is that Ebola is unlikely to spread very far because it is so fatal. Outbreaks of diseases that are this fatal this fast tend to burn themselves out very quickly because the infected can’t travel far or come into contact with enough people to allow wide dissemination. That’s not to say Ebola is not a threat, but it’s certainly not a threat that homeopathy can do anything about. Homeopathy is quackery.
