Read excerpt
Political disclaimerGiven the title, a quick disclaimer: The title mentions political ideas, but I don’t think this article is “really” political. Because, I’m not trying to convince anyone to change their mind about any political issues. I’m writing for people who already hold certain political views, and pointing out a way I believe they could live those ideals on a frisbee field.That’s all, on to the article:It’s never really made sense to me how people with some of the most liberal, fuck-the
Book Review(s): 10 to 25 -&- How To Talk So Kids Will Listen (opens the original)
