I'll quickly try to say what may be scary about privatization. No matter how nuanced or academic discussions of privatization get, it sort of always boils down to two sides: 1. Private firms are efficient and rapidly responding entities while gover…

I really appreciate your thoughtful responses. I don't think either of us are going to get the other to agree, but I thrive on the back-and-forth so here are my three additional cents on this (note to moderators--Steve and I have clearly gone off to…

I have some spare time to do some volunteering but I will need to know where and when before I make a firm commitment.

Actually, you know what. If the semantics of "free trade" is the problem...and I can see how it might be...I'll admit I was being a little loose with the phrase. Since we have never lived in a world of pure "free trade" it's very easy to misuse it.…

It is neither lying nor naivete. The purpose of cap and trade legislation is not that companies would get to choose to be in it or not. It's that it creates a new market in carbon. A very similar plan was put in effect to control acid rain-producing…

The thing about saying things like "Obama is extreme left" is that we don't have to appeal to our "beliefs" and our "opinions." There is a field of study called Political Science which, while not 100% accurate, is less fallible than our faulty memor…

Daniels is a "middle of the road" Republican. And other than a few wackos knocked off in the primaries (Tancredo, Kucinich some others) I don't think we've ever seen "extreme" right and lefts in the General Election. Maybe McGovern would have qualif…

Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
As SmallerIndiana has grown it has gotten more interesting and more useful, which is the exact opposite of how most social networking sites develop. Sites like Facebook and MySpace bog users down with social cruft that increases, rather than specializes, the type of information its users receive. I like that I have more control over what information shows up on this digital doorstep.

Some Babble on the Babbling Banshee

Like with my review of Good Grief, Sidney there were bits to like and bits not to like in The Babbling Banshee. I like to get the bits not to like out of the way first because they're not worth dwelling on.

The IndyFringe site warns that this play contains some Irish slang. It's not the slang that's the problem, it's the Irish br… Continue

Tastes Funny

Initially my plan was to enjoy the outdoors between my viewings of Good Grief, Sidney and The Babbling Banshee unfortunately it was blisteringly hot outside and if I had lingered too long I would have been compelled to spend the day in blissful hedonism at The Old Point--by which I mean partaking of the drink Ben Franklin thought was "proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." I am… Continue

Good Grief, Sidney--A Solid Effort All 'Round

The premise of Good Grief, Sidney is simple: Walter's wife has died and in order to come to terms with his grief he has written a play. The antagonist in the play is Sidney, Walter's atavistic other self. Walter feels he owes it to himself and to his wife to remain the aggrieved widower; Sidney however, wants to get laid. He's not so much an alter-ego as an alter-id.

The actor playing Walter was nervous and awkward, two attribut… Continue

The Best of the Blizzard at the Phoenix Basile Theatre

Sitting in the front and center-most table at the Phoenix Basile Theatre for last night's viewing of The Best of the Blizzard there is no way I could have live-blogged the show for the Indy Fringe Festival/Smaller Indiana crossover even if I'd remembered to bring the lappy, which I didn't. I also didn't bring… Continue
