Questions I would like to ask @davidgregory - vote on which you'd like to hear him answer
#1 - How do you see the Prop 8 decision and today's filibuster on Don't Ask, Don't Tell playing this November? Are we heading for another year in which the role of homosexuality in American life is a big wedge? A small one? Or does everyone agree at this point that we have bigger fish to fry?
#2 - I loved what you had to say about balancing your ambition with your heart's desire to be a great parent. How do you see the changing role of men and masculinity in our culture as influencing our current political and economic landscape?
Masculine = Useful, but what does that mean in our changing world?
The truth is, it’s not how men style themselves that will make them whole again—it’s what they do with their days. The riggers, welders, and boilermakers of generations past weren’t wearing overalls to feel like men, as Susan Faludi, the author of books on both sexes, has pointed out. Instead, “their sense of their own manhood flowed out of their utility in a society, not the other way around,” she writes. “Conceiving of masculinity as something to be”—a part to play—“turns manliness into [something] ornamental, and about as ‘masculine’ as fake eyelashes are inherently ‘feminine.’?”
Dear Stella Artois, she is not a "thing" at all...
