• Note to all the MLK days of service that have been proliferating: King’s legacy is ACTION and the power of fierce LOVE, not volunteerism. #
• Most volunteerism these days is like a band-aid instead of a tourniquet. It doesn’t challenge. I don’t consider that action a la King. #
• @abenamer Sure, and volunteering is a great thing to do. I just don’t think it’s what Dr. King would be doing with his life today. in reply to abenamer #

• NPR: a study shows that it’s not good for babies to be removed by C-section before their due dates. No shit! Why do so many Dr’s do it? #
• @busymommaval Not when they know the due date, but elect to do it early b/c it’s more convenient. @RobertP Not less risk to baby! in reply to busymommaval #
• I get so mad when I think of the unneccesary C-sections in this country. We have gone from something like 5% to almost 30% getting them now. #
• Not that some C-sections aren’t medically necessary, but MOST are not! http://tinyurl.com/yosh6p #
• @Catchatorie Thanks, I just heard about it (http://thebusinessofbeingborn.com) at childbithing class this week and wanted to check it out! in reply to Catchatorie #

• That sucks! Way to screw users. Retweeting @Pam_Spaulding: – Soapblox is dead; status of data is unknown right now. http://soapblox.net/blog #
• What a total party foul. SoapBlox hosts tons of political blog communities, now they just go down and say tough shit to thousands of users? #
• I hope SoapBlox users will strongly consider moving to open source platforms like drupal & wordpress for better longevity in the future. #
• @randomdeanna The real is key is developers writing some tools to import SoapBlox content into open source platforms. Anyone on the case? in reply to randomdeanna #

• UNC should be leading by way more than 3 points, 10 minutes into 1st half. #
• UNC 53, College of Charleston 41 at halftime. Things are starting to gel… #
• Funniest foul ever! #
