Some people suggest it isn’t practical for too many of us to become purpose-centered.  Imagine what would happen if everyone on earth awakened to a noble purpose.  While we’re all busy changing the world, who will clean our floors and dig our ditches?  Will we all starve because no one will be willing to do the menial tasks?  [...]

I received a number of blogging-related questions, so I figured I’d handle them all in a single post. What blogging software do you use? WordPress What do you use as your primary RSS feed reader?
