		<description><![CDATA[Am I ridiculously shallow or something?  Whenever I read a book that depicts what is meant to be an ironically utopian future, one where everyone is happy, I fail to grasp the irony.  Books like “Brave New World” and my most recent read “Uglies” or even a more familiar piece of art to most of [...]]]></description>

Part of being the husband of a midwife means you’re pretty much piped in to every conceivable controversial issue that is in any way related to pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.  C-sections, homebirth, vaccines, co-sleeping, breast-feeding, best hemp strollers for hippies and of course, the pros and cons (mostly [...]]]></description>
