1. Health Care Reform: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2009/09/06/obama_should_heed_kennedy_press_ahead_with_health_reform/
Great article - I agree, that the onus now is on Obama. Even so, he is just one human being and needs all our support for health care reform. His upcoming national address will be worth watching.
2. International Development: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2009/09/06/city_of_dreams_a_radical_plan_for_helping_poor_countries/
A bold and ambitious plan, but Hong Kong is an atypical example at best, and there are way too many political roadblocks to even starting a pilot charter city.
3. Labour Day: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2009/09/06/the_truth_about_labor_day/
Great informational article. I still do not recognize this holiday and celebrate mine on May 1. Nonetheless, whichever date you celebrate, spending time picnicking all afternoon over hot dogs is no way to do it.
4. Biology & Art: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2009/09/06/my_ant_could_paint_that/
Ha! Interesting, but the author meanders off point. But really, is insect "art" Abstract? Does it not serve some proper ritual, and thus would be considered "authentic" in its fullest sense?
5. Book Clubs: http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2009/09/03/newton_book_club_plots_a_new_course/
Great idea, right in the heart of Newton (well, aorta part). I'll be sure to check it out when I have the chance, though don't expect me to be an expert on Jane Eyre.
