I like politics. I follow it the way some people follow sports. The Democrat Party     and Republican Party are major league teams. They battle each other in national, state and     local contests. They have mascots, both created by the same person.     They have fanatical supporters just like any sport. Like minor league teams, there are also minor political parties to watch that sometimes play spoiler and sometimes     gain enough strength to influence the major parties. Some operate only locally, some statewide, and some try to operate     nationally.    I also enjoy following individual personalities. People love and hate them like they love and hate sports teams and athletes.     I'm sometimes startled by the degree of blind adoration or blind rage that politicians can inspire in otherwise calm,     rational people.    Lately, I've noticed that there's a growing tendency to divide the United States into red states and blue states. People seem     to think that it's possible for an entire state to be Democrat or Republican. How can that be if it's difficult to even     categorize individual Americans into definite camps? Now, although once restricted to politics, the idea is spreading to     other arenas. I saw a suggestion that Hollywood start targetting states as red or blue audiences. I've seen statistics that     compare red states versus blue states on categories such as religion, income, and even gifts to charity.    The division of the United States into red and blue states is overly simplistic and misleading.

Gabe: You might have seen this story on CNN about the teens that murdered a homeless guy and then equated it to the sort of thrill one might get from a violent video game. There will be plenty of articles focusing on these kids and their crime. I"d like to take a second and talk about the parents of these teenagers instead. It is the job of a parent to teach their children certain rules. Obviously the rules themselves and the emphasis each family places on them will vary, but there are certain universal constants that these parents obviously failed to pass on.

By Belleville News-Democrat, Ill.  Jun. 4--If your kid gossips about another kid online using your home computer, could she wind up suspended from school?   Could be if you live in Edwardsville School District 7 and an administrator deems it hostile or offensive.

One of the most vexing problems in home computing is finding a way for parents to govern their children's use of computers and the Internet. The goal is to keep their children safe from the creepier content and people on the Internet and from spending too much time on the computer.
