She either might have changed her name or she is out of the biz. 

This clip is worth the download.

		<description>Jules,

Thank you for linking that wonderful essay. It was honestly a relief to read someone articulating what that author was willing to articulate.

I am sorry you are intensely frustrated with your experience at BYU. I understand the feeling. Heartily. Please keep trying to reverse the superficiality you see. We need you.</description>

		<description>Austin,

I am sorry I never responded to your very good question. I think it is very important to remember that--contrary to the just-add-water conclusions of angst-ridden teendom--the status quo is sometimes a good thing, and reformers are oftem implicated in the problems they are trying to solve. I will think more about what is "too far" and try to respond more later. Other than that, I will simply say that I have been using the phrase "status quo" in a more figurative sense to refer to the dangerous notions of vested interests, etc. The moral point I was trying to make you have already correctly understood: It was an argument about fairness and consistency--about judging acts equally, without the perks of interpretation the majority frequently enjoys (and manipulates). It was not intended to sanction any specific response, but, rather, to express sympathy for any minority who has been wrongfully interpreted by a hypocritical majority.</description>

		<description>Ash,

As I am sure you are aware, I have a psychological tick which causes me to root for mormons whether I like them or not.  My latest flair up came in the form of sporadic support for Mitt Romney.  During those brief periods of mental weakness I took notice of his campaign and I could not help but to be embarrassed and angered by his pandering to the far right.  Now that I have read your article I think something you wrote touched on why Romney so quickly shrunk from his more centrist principles.     

here is what you wrote:  

"We are not wise, we are successful. Liked.
Applauded. Well-behaved."  

This perfectly described Romney.  He refused to go out on a limb for any of his beliefs. ever. Instead he focused on finding the status quo and sucking up to conservative opinion makers.  

More troubling is that Romney exemplified the BYU ideal.  He folded quickly in the face of political adversity, and laid down his soul at the feat of the Gods of the status quo.  This is a skill he likely honed at BYU, probably as president on BYUSA.</description>

		<description>Yes, Nate, I agree. Maybe I wasn't clear. I generally think 3rd party candidates are fine and healthy (though sometimes they can turn into ego trips) and I have voted for them in the past. I also absolutely agree with your assessment of Edwards' contribution to this campaign. My point was that different situations call for different strategies; I respect Malcolm X and Ralph Nader, for example, but I don't respect when they attack(ed) people who are more or less on their side (MLK and Obama); when "purists" get into politics they can quickly become ideologues and their followers fundamentalists as they point to the one and only right way and demonize those who are even slightly different. That was my point. I don't have a problem with Mike Gravel running for president or Ashley supporting him, when it comes down to it. My question is how do you maximize that opportunity and effect actual change. I don't think the answer is putting yourself in a corner and pointing at all the "hypocrites" and "sell-outs."</description>

		<description>I wrote an email to you a few weeks ago.  I deleted it, because it didn't feel right.  The gist of it was, "You want everyone to be like you, but you should respect others' differences."  Naturally, I used more conciliatory language, but that still didn't disguise the fact that I was disrespecting your difference from me.  I just realized my error.

I'm going to agree and disagree with Joe.  I think it is narrow-minded, Joe, to give all the credit to whoever wins the election.  Just because Gravel won't win the election does not mean his candidacy is meaningless.  That is a fallacy all too often perpetuated by the Democrat-Republicans in power and reinforced by our winner-take-all electoral system.  Third parties have been responsible for the introduction of very important ideas into more mainstream politics.  In the current race, when John Edwards' emphasis on poverty and universal healthcare turned out to be politically viable, Hillary and Obama shifted to the left (disclosure: I voted for Obama in the primary).  

I tend to be more conciliatory and pragmatic when it comes to politics.  I'm willing to fudge on a few principles and vote for a big party candidate if I feel it will help in obtaining some significant good.  In other words, my take on life is to applaud myself for good achieved rather than chastise myself for good omitted.  

But to pretend that my way of doing things is superior and that everyone should convert would be little more than self-congratulation.  It would be to hand all the praise to the MLKs and Booker T. Washingtons while leaving out Malcolm X, W.E.B. DuBois, and Mike Gravel.

But the same is true of the inverse.  Ashley, bear with me, but I often find you to be self-righteous.  But I'm not saying that pejoratively.  I think self-righteousness has its place, just as being practical has its place.  It's a thankless job to stand on principle and demand that everyone come to where you are.  You will "lose" every time, but that does not mean your efforts were vain.  

Basically I believe that no one can be everything to everyone, that we depend, or should depend, on people with whom we disagree.</description>
