Celebrity Spotting at Spinning in Los Angeles

What if wisdom has more to do with 'giving up' our beliefs and attachments than 'getting' more insights or having 'more, better and different' of whatever we think is important?

I believe that body hatred lies deep under a host of physical problems. How can we possibly expect to be healthy if we reject our own primary residence?

During the 2008 election, Senator John McCain famously admitted he didn't know how to use a computer and was only then learning to use a Blackberry. Oh, how times have changed.

I want to create a new organization to stamp out stupidity and indifference and restore common decency and goodwill into society. I think I'll call it the National Organization of Pissed-Off Elders (N.O.P.E.).

American leaders have a habit of voicing support for democracy movements and then abandoning their champions, failing to provide them with economic or strategic support.

We've taken the "wow" out of America. It's time to put it back. It's time to be proud to "Live like an American!"

I dreamed up the Freedom Awards because in Free the Slaves we insist that the people who are closest to slavery should be the leaders and spokespersons of the anti-slavery movement. Who better to tell the world that this is real slavery?

I was attacked for an earlier post as un-American for acknowledging Canada's Thanksgiving celebration and for not celebrating America's. Rest assured! I fully intend to celebrate next month as well.

Freedom is an ideal that is held in high regard and desired by many. However, regardless of our passionate desire to create it in our lives, we often end up settling for something else, by necessity rather than choice.

In Glenn Beck's mind it doesn't add up. How can it be that people who are treated badly are not filled with hate?

You are cordially invited and sincerely encouraged to declare one day a diagnosis free day. (It's not as simple as it may sound.) During the period of twenty-four hours, diagnosis of any kind is denied admission into your evaluation of yourself and others.

Fighting it doesn't work, but paradoxically, once you accept the anger, it's easier for it to pass. This, I think, is a taste of freedom.

Being a kid at a seven-week sleep-away camp is a field of dreams -- as close to heaven as a baseball field carved out of a cornfield in Iowa.

The Health Insurance Exchange is a means of regulating private insurance, not destroying it: it maintains a market for insurance, while affirming modern-day economists' good sense.

A key aspect of constitutionalism is that it begins and ends with the people, rather than rhetoric, institutions, or leaders. Thus the genius of Obama's policy of actual democracy promotion.

The real, full name of the Statue of Liberty is "Liberty Enlightening the World." She wears a crown because she's a goddess championing the cause of all causes: freedom.

There is clear evidence that within the Islamic republic there is a growing movement away from the denial of a people's rights toward transparency and truth.

How independent are we as individuals today? We may have moved out of our parents' house, but do we really take the time to reflect on the balance of dependence and freedom in our own selves?

How can we integrate a greater sense of independence into our lives? How can we truly practice such an important declaration, not just as a country but also as individuals?

Our daughters and granddaughters, texting and twittering, can't imagine a world before computers, or television, a world when American women didn't have the freedom to vote.
