Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. »» Martin Luther King, Jr.

EDIT: This was originally posted Friday morning, but my wonderful blog web hosting company deleted my blog Friday night and took more than 12 hours to restore it from their backups, so this post (and possibly others that I don’t recall now) were missing.

graduation Couldn’t sleep this morning, so I was stumbling around some and came across a post by Karlana titled high school education = graduation = college education … It all leads to somewhere! It starts out well enough-

Posted on April 29, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | 1 Comment

I guess I should say ‘young woman’ at this point, but she’ll always be my little girl. I don’t want to go into too many details because I know some of her friends like to keep up with everything here at Philaahzophy (you know who you are ;) ), but Z did something yesterday and today that made me proud beyond belief.

She showed real guts, poise and self-confidence yesterday in a way that so very, very few of her peer group would…

While listening to Z snore on our trek home from the drive-in movie I started re-pondering the light bulb riddle I posted earlier this evening. Turns out I was way off in my original assertion that it was an algebraic issue. It’s actually a science riddle, specifically having to do with heat. Everything beyond this point in this post is the solution to the puzzle so if you don’t…

Picked up Z from school today and was immediately presented with a riddle that Ms. Falconer (her favorite teacher and mine) offered up to the class today. Anyone who solves the riddle will receive an in class reward. I believe I can figure it out, but we’re on our way out the door to see The Wizard of Oz at the local drive-in so I’m reaching out for help from…

Since it was created by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, if you don’t have kids you’ve probably never heard of No Name-Calling Week. In fact, I didn’t even hear of it in my role as a parent, but rather thanks to StumbleUpon. From their FAQ-
