The greatest distortion about the health care debate is that reform will destroy the best health care system in the world.

If we just wrote about something we knew everything about, wouldn't it sound like a technical book? Imagination has to play a part in it somewhere. Let the reader play with facts and pictures in his head. That is the draw of reading as apposed to watching a movie where all is before your eyes.

That's true, Linda. Charlotte Brontë echoes that sentiment somewhere on the blog. "Write what you know" is becoming a chestnut of the past.

Time magazine's cover article, What Women Want Now, is painfully shallow, but raises interesting questions. On one hand, so much has changed over the last 40 years, but on the other, women still earn 77 cents on the dollar that men earn. But I can't stand when media proclaims that now women are less happy "despite the ...feminist movement." I don't think women were happier when they were stuck in the house with limited opportunities. I just think women today are more honest with researchers and don't have to pretend they're happy when they aren't. What do you say?Read More

Nava Atlas The blog Chocolate Onion presents my Herb Garden Couscous and Black Bean Salad (from Vegan Express) using Israeli couscous. What a great idea! I think I'll try it. I just love it when cooks give my recipes their own spin:
