Howard DeanMan is less interested in marriage, very much less interested. In fact not interested at all. If he agrees, he agrees only reluctantly - because marriage means responsibility.

Conflicting beliefs.

Philip YanceyIt's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money.

I'm more interested in how humans can embody conflicting goals and emotions.

Hands off.
