...find yourself resisting the vulgar over-simplification of this comparison, it is my writer's luxury to pre-empt you with the information that you are being mistaken, and worse, typical. The reason it doesn't seem wrong to comb a strange country gathering email addresses you will never in good honesty use is because you have already set that time period aside as an anomaly in the normal flow of your life. But while your rules are altered, your conduct is aligned with the way you have always lived, whether you will admit...
...Republicans, if they hang on, will claim a mandate to refund Americans their money and reclaim for them their values. What the new majority is least likely to fulminate about, at least with any sincerity, is the insidious presence of money in politics.

The overflowing Port-o-Sans that no one bothered to empty? The formidable mounds of garbage that no one collected? The rip-off prices--$4 for a bottle of water, $7.50 for a chicken sandwich? In retrospect, it seems odd that rock fans would travel halfway across the country...
...make sure that your kids actually eat their peas rather than just shoving them aside. One tip: you may have to serve two-year-olds a new food frequently--as often as 15 times over several months. As Roberts and Heyman explain, there's an evolutionary reason for toddlers to be picky eaters: it cut down a tiny hunter-gatherer's chances of food poisoning. Most important, don't trigger their natural rebellious streak by letting on that you think the food is good for them...
