  1. Tran\u00adscript of New Orleans May\u00ador Landrieu\u2019s address on Con\u00adfed\u00ader\u00adate mon\u00adu\u00adments<\/span><\/a> (Derek Cos\u00adson, The Pulse): \u201cTo lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly put the con\u00adfed\u00ader\u00ada\u00adcy on a pedestal in our most promi\u00adnent places of hon\u00ador is an inac\u00adcu\u00adrate recita\u00adtion of our full past, it is an affront to our present, and it is a bad pre\u00adscrip\u00adtion for our future.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Rod Dreher\u2019s <\/span>A Mon\u00adu\u00admen\u00adtal His\u00adto\u00adry<\/a> offers a gen\u00ader\u00adal agree\u00adment with Lan\u00addrieu\u2019s speech along with a thought\u00adful defense of Robert E. Lee. <\/span>\u201cI am only some\u00adwhat trou\u00adbled by the Lee monument\u2019s removal. That\u2019s not because of any sym\u00adpa\u00adthy for the Con\u00adfed\u00ader\u00ada\u00adcy \u2014 it deserved to lose, and the suf\u00adfer\u00ading of the South in and after the war was, I believe, God\u2019s judg\u00adment on it for the sin of slav\u00adery\u2026. [nonethe\u00adless] Lee was a far more com\u00adplex man than many peo\u00adple today seem to real\u00adize.\u201d (Dreher is also a Louisiana res\u00adi\u00addent)<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Col\u00adlege Fresh\u00admen Are Less Reli\u00adgious Than Ever<\/span><\/a> (Allen Downey, Sci\u00aden\u00adtif\u00adic Amer\u00adi\u00adcan): \u201cMost of this growth [of \u2018no reli\u00adgious pref\u00ader\u00adence\u2019] comes at the expense of Catholi\u00adcism, which dropped from 32 per\u00adcent to 23 per\u00adcent, and main\u00adstream Protes\u00adtant denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions includ\u00ading Bap\u00adtists (from 17 per\u00adcent to 7 per\u00adcent), and Methodists (from 9 per\u00adcent to 3 per\u00adcent). At the same time the num\u00adber of stu\u00addents choos\u00ading \u2018Oth\u00ader Chris\u00adt\u00adian\u2019 increased from 5 per\u00adcent to 13 per\u00adcent.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. UK Mus\u00adlims Report\u00aded Abe\u00addi<\/span><\/a> (Rod Dreher, The Amer\u00adi\u00adcan Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive): \u201cWhat else would you have had these Mus\u00adlims do? Sounds like they did exact\u00adly what they were sup\u00adposed to do\u2026 [On the oth\u00ader hand] what more would you have author\u00adi\u00adties do? If he had not act\u00aded out\u2026 what do you do?\u201d Things are com\u00adplex. And yes, this is the same Rod Dreher as in the sec\u00adond entry on this list. He\u2019s pro\u00adlif\u00adic. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Sex\u00adu\u00adal regret in US and Nor\u00adway: Effects of cul\u00adture and indi\u00advid\u00adual dif\u00adfer\u00adences in reli\u00adgios\u00adi\u00adty and mat\u00ading strat\u00ade\u00adgy<\/span><\/a> (Ben\u00addix\u00aden, Asao, Wyck\u00adoff, Buss and Ken\u00adnair, Per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty and Indi\u00advid\u00adual Dif\u00adfer\u00adences): <\/span> From the abstract: \u201cMen were sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly less like\u00adly to regret hav\u00ading had casu\u00adal sex than women and were sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly more like\u00adly to regret pass\u00ading up casu\u00adal sex\u00adu\u00adal oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties than women\u2026 Final\u00adly, North Amer\u00adi\u00adcans and Nor\u00adwe\u00adgians did not dif\u00adfer sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly in over\u00adall amount of sex\u00adu\u00adal regret nor in pat\u00adterns of sex dif\u00adfer\u00adences in sex\u00adu\u00adal regret.\u201d I\u2019m always fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00aded by gen\u00adder dif\u00adfer\u00adences that tran\u00adscend cul\u00adtures. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
