Join the dialogue! Thinking Human Matters is for people who enjoy digging deeply into the human experience, for people who have the courage to examine themselves and the culture around them. Love, marriage, sexuality, child-rearing, work, play, religion, art, psychology, science, conflict and the hope for reconcilation -- Steven Kalas coaxes the important human questions out of life, whether from everyday events around us or from global breaking news.

Suddenly, they are everywhere. A popularity explosion. I can't drive more than a few miles in any direction and not see at least one of the following three cars: the Honda Element, the Scion xB or the Nissan Cube. I find myself staring at these...

I am a 53-year-old woman, divorced for nine years. My ex-husband cheated on me and so did my former boyfriend. Do most men cheat? Is it a man's nature not to be monogamous? Eleven months ago, I met a wonderful man. I openly discussed my broken...

I have been married to my wife for 20 years this year. I always thought things were pretty good until about the last two years. I retired from the military four years ago, and immediately got a job with the Postal Service. I started out working...

I am proud to say that I have "risen from the ashes" of a nasty divorce, yet every time my ex throws a curve ball at me, I seem to lose my equilibrium for a couple of days! We were married for 12 years. Three years ago, his high school...

I've recently remarried, and as well as a new companion in my life, I also have a young boy, 9, as a stepson. He is a handful, having a hard time adjusting at school, not wanting to do his homework, and if we didn't make an effort to get him...

Before we moved to Boulder City, I told my husband on several occasions, "I'm not the party type and I don't want to hang out with your friend and his girlfriend who live in Las Vegas." Well, it turns out we've gone out a few times and I...

Two days after Michael Jackson's death was announced, I saw a news clip in which a weeping woman said, "This is the saddest day of my life!" She went on to explain that although she had never met him, she doesn't know how she will cope now...

We see ads for Kotex, Tampax, etc. We see ads for Levitra, meds for enhancement, etc. When we have mixed company, we joke about the four- to five-hour erection, heart and many other reactions. Give us advice when preteen and teenagers (not ours) are...

So, I answered this nice woman's question about booming car stereos in the July 7 View. And then I received this: Were you ever age 16 and liked to play your car stereo loudly? How about age 26 and still doing it, from time to time? From the...
