Ecology, community and desire
During a recent discussion of environmental politics in Carrboro, a friend directed me to a video of a conversation between Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat Hanh and environmental activist and Right Livelihood Award-winner David Suzuki.

LETTER: Bad advice
I just read the Sept. 8 House Calls column suggesting to the parent of a 3-year old that toilet training should be “all positive,” and that “eventually” this child will naturally become toilet trained.
