Anyway, certain issues as generic to the character of the human condition as the one Jeffrey Vanke and I are debating--the issue of under what circumstances can perpetrators of massive cruelty and evil toward other human beings be considered morally restored to the humanitarian side of the Christian value system and community--can very well remain issues we disagree on. Such serious and awesome intellectual matters do not require a final answer, Mr. Vanke. I do, however, grant Jeffrey Vanke his morally vacuous formulation--his intellectual right to it--when he observes that "I do have a choice....There...

...opening scene seems straight out of a music video: minimalist stage, stark light, four actors encased in fashionably generic black and red.

...needs a doctor, she goes to see someone at the Arizona Physicians Clinic in downtown Phoenix. Chen, the director of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS, pronounced access), reads her magazines in the waiting room alongside people who pay no insurance premiums, who can barely afford their generic prescription medications, who perhaps cannot even read the warning labels on a bottle of aspirin. When Sherry Broyles, 23, a single mother of two, needs to see a doctor, she waits alongside the likes of Chen and feels no less worthy of her doctor's attention just because...
