About Me
- Bruce Young
- I'm married to the marvelous Margaret Blair Young, a fine and accomplished writer and a remarkable person. We have four children and four grandchildren (plus five recently added step-grandchildren!). I teach English at Brigham Young University, including courses on Shakespeare, C. S. Lewis, and world literature. Besides my family, my faith, and the topics just listed, my passions include the Beatles and the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. I currently have a number of blogs: "The Face of the Other" (for an explanation of the title, see here, here, and here); "Welcoming the Other", and several on politics and related matters (including here).

I am appalled that a member of an MTC branch presidency would take a car to that hallowed ground with its fender displaying Obama's name. Where is your sense of decorum, Brother Young
Since this blog is intended for NATIONAL and cross-cultural viewing, some comments (especially from "dramatic sporano" or "soprano" or whoever she is) may be puzzling to some readers.
I'll just note two things here:
(1) I'll explain elsewhere my thoughts on why Latter-day Saints make great Democrats.
(2) Assume there's a heavy dose of irony in the comments certain readers add. I know from experience that lots of people DON'T get the irony in statements by people who are "appalled." A few days ago I sent a stern e-mail to a student who had written a letter to the Daily Universe complaining about the paper's use of the word "evolution"--only to find that his letter was "ironic." I'm afraid virtually no one who read it noticed the irony, mainly because plenty of people could have written exactly the same thing seriously.
Now as for "dramatic soprano's" comment . . .
