(ABP) -- Most everyone has a Mama story. One of my favorites must have happened when I was in the seventh or eighth grade. My mother never had many advantages in life.

(ABP) -- Churches this Sunday will give out a rose and clap for the oldest mother in the sanctuary. They will sing songs about family and pay no attention to the females who haven’t birthed a baby.

(ABP) -- Opportunities for debate and discussion have skyrocketed in the wake of this week’s news reports of the death of Osama bin Laden. Right after the news broke, it seemed to me that everyone on Facebook had a comment; political pundits alighted on the subject with glee; even a stroll around that block took me past several folks engaged in sidewalk debates on the unfolding news story.
