In the fields of southwest Iowa, my parents and grandparents worked and sacrificed. Like so many Iowans, the American Dream for them was never about wealth or fame. Their dream was to leave their children and grandchildren a better life, with greater opportunity, than their own.

Social media is good in some ways, for me to Skype my son and grandchildren every day in America is wonderful. But then you’ve got other things on the Internet which are absolutely dreadful.

The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy.

President Abbas, you’ve dedicated your life to advancing the Palestinian cause.

That’s what we should aim for, and that’s what I believe we can achieve.
I don’t post pictures of my grandchildren unless I get permission. I’m really respectful about that. If I feel like anything is invasive of someone’s privacy, I don’t do that, either. Sometimes I have great pictures, but I’m like, ‘Eh, maybe this is not right.’

Now that I’m a grandfather myself, I realize that the best thing about having grandkids is that you get the kid for the best part of the ride – kind of like owning a car for only the first 10,000 miles. You can have your grandchildren for a couple of days and then turn them back over to the parents.
My family – my husband, my daughters, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, all of them – are the most important thing in the world to me.

A life of stasis would be population control, combined with energy rationing. That is the stasis world that you live in if you stay. And even with improvements in efficiency, you’ll still have to ration energy. That, to me, doesn’t sound like a very exciting civilization for our grandchildren’s grandchildren to live in.
