Ask Me a Question Meme

Some of my LJ friends are doing this, so I may as well too.

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about one another. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Interesting essay from last week's book review

The State of Families, Class and Culture By ARLIE HOCHSCHILD

After stating the obvious (blue collar Americans have been the shock absorbers of the financial crisis and the shift from an industrial to an information based economy) the author ends by blaming high divorce rates and serial monogamy on "a continual state of unconscious immersion in a market turnover culture" in which romantic partners are viewed as consumer items for which many Americans are continuously shopping for the next upgrade. Apparently this is less the case in Europe.
