COLUMN: Web sites feed pro-life hatred
June 13Like any social/political crusade, the anti-abortion movement has spawned its extremist elements, some of whom are extreme indeed. Most dangerous among these, of course, are the very few who have assassinated "abortion providers." Second in line are those rancorous souls who welcome such behavior. Describing themselves as Christians, they publicize the names and addresses of physicians on Web sites and, when a doctor is killed, celebrate the murder by crossing out his or her name.

Column: Creativity essential to human nature
June 6Recently, a friend of mine had a project for an art history class he's taking. The assignment was to express a concept through visual art. Most of the students, who - like my friend - were probably just taking the class to fill core requirements, handed in work of the magazine collage variety. Their works fulfilled the requirements, but apparently weren't exactly great feats of creative inspiration.
