Once upon a time long, long ago and far, far away (for everything that we remember from our childhoods seems long ago and far away, and history's nothing but a story that's older than we are) a book was written for children. The fact that is was written in New York in 1865, and not in Holland at all, doesn't matter. The fact that it isn't true doesn't matter either. Nor is there a Tinkerbelle, nor a Peter…

You're in the doctor's waiting room. Maybe you sit down in a chair and stare at the floor, find a thread on your clothes you never saw before, or pick up a magazine you wouldn't be caught dead paying for and turn the pages without reading, but you never look at anyone else.

But what about getting our money back? Do we have any recourse? The answer is

I once worked in an elementary school. The principal had a wooden paddle hanging on the wall behind his desk; the words PAIN HURTS were burned into the wood. Somewhere out there are some people who think they're controlling us with the use of pain, people who enjoy inflicting it and who are savoring the results... people who weaken us by instilling fear and separate us by reaching into our private emotions. There has been a
