Notebook and pen by Derya

Homosexuality. It’s my generation’s civil rights movement, and it affected my life recently in an interesting way. I review books for World Literary Café as part of their WLC Review Team.

Pundits and analysts are actively working over yesterday's statement by President Obama that "same-sex couples should be able to get married." It was calculated! It was a cynical attempt to recoup lost demographics he needs to get elected! He just wants to motivate a lackluster base!  Read more >

The post was impressive, but the responses to the post that have rolled in since it went live in late 2011 are blowing my mind.  Read more >

I’m frustrated.  The man sitting in front of me is an incredible person. He’s been the chair of medical departments and president of one of the world’s largest global health non-profits. He’s improved the lives of millions of people. I have everything to learn from him, but I can’t seem to get much from what he’s saying.  Read more >
