I am offended. I so rarely get to say that, since being offended has a lot to do with self-identification as a victim and, as a middle-class white male, I really don’t have much opportunity to feel that way.

Children can pass out at any moment during these activities, sleep enveloping them like a large bear sitting on an unsuspecting squirrel, blissfully unaware of how lucky they are to be sleeping at all.

Imagine going to the drug store, buying some pills, taking them and suddenly becoming a better person. As you read this, scientists are busy trying to make this a reality. They hope that someday people will be able to enhance their morals by popping a few pills.

Al Qaeda’s operating environment today is vastly different from the one in which it launched its most notorious operation, the 9/11 terror attacks. Osama bin Laden was killed by United States Navy Seals in Pakistan in May. Three brutal Middle East dictatorships were removed this year. Has militant jihadism failed, placing Al Qaeda’s survival in doubt?

Ten years after the terrorist attacks that destroyed them, it’s still strange to see the New York skyline without the twin towers of the World Trade Center.
