By now, we all know that smartphones, social media and most forms of online connection are incredibly unhealthy for the average teen, probably the average adult too. We all know this perfectly, but try to not give a teen a smartphone today and you're still some out of touch weirdo.
A lot here, but since I was on vacation I am catching up. Two quick points:
1) The idea that conservatives need to learn how to govern I think is missing the upcoming reality. Conservatives who are tapping into the populist movement are planning to change the way we are governed thereby dramatically altering the way the Left/Progressives/Democrats see and operate in the world. They are the ones that will be left behind.
2) The article about turning boys into men was written by a woman (at least that what I gathered from the name and the way she wrote). The idea that men need to express a full range of emotions sounds like men need to act like women. My father never taught me not to cry, but growing up I learned from other men and boys to cry was to show weakness. At times, that may be necessary, but a man - particularly a man who is to be a leader, whether of his family, a church, a business, a military organization - needs to be strong in trying times. I would argue that a man who is constantly showing his emotions is one who cannot be trusted in a crisis. And to women that is also a turnoff.
