this is pretty rad! apparently a lot of people have started sponsoring children as a result of the movie About Schmidt- not only is it a great movie, its also getting people involved in the world.

also, i just saw gabe's last post... i wonder about the same things with regards to self-defense, however, especially now that I'm married, if someone broke in and was threatening us, I would shoot them. no doubt. every action has a reaction, and the reaction to breaking into my house will not be pleasant.
