Idling in the Devil’s Workshop
Every time I sit down to write this column, I’m obliged to contend with the devil on my shoulder… and the angel on my other one.

Real Life in the Virtual World
I’ve been writing a lot, lately, about the ways that social media tends to emphasize, and maybe even enhance, our various divisions – be they social, political, religious, or what have you. I have a friend who calls it the “Facebook Effect,” this unfortunate phenomenon that emboldens people to say things online that they would never, ever say – in language they would never, ever use – in person, face to face.
