I'm a huge fan of the program 'Democracy Now,' which is hosted by Amy Goodman, and I subscribe to the podcast.
If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much.

Men and women in my lifetime have died fighting for the right to vote: people like James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while registering black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Viola Liuzzo, who was murdered by the ...
William Miller: What about your mom? Penny Lane: She always said, "Marry up. Marry someone grand". And that's why she named me "Lady". William Miller: She named you "Lady?" Penny Lane: [makes a face] Lady Goodman.
...You want to know whether the problems that you teenagers feel—will they follow you over the rest of your lives? Will your hearts always be aching? Is that what you are asking me?” Goodman shifted in discomfort. “Something like that,” he sa...
