YES!!!!

We are tired of the fear mongering right in the US. People want change and Obama represents that change. McCain will not be able to stand that tide of public sentiment long.

Obama represents an opportunity to clean up the mess GWB has created. And I think people want…

Japan is suffering a national mental health crisis and has no structure to address it. Psychological care here still carries a strong stigma and the resources available are very limited.

There are many reasons for this mental health crisis. Some obvious causes are: 1. Overwork and work stress 2. Lack…

It is not the US that is the problem. It is US policy and leadership. Relative to many places in the world the US is still quite free. But we cannot rest upon a past of relative freedom. We have to continue to protect and advocate improvement for liberty and…

Altria: JT thinks that real criticism and feedback is inflamitory. But depends upon the Moderator's personal political bend I think.

Surge, my apologies. I see your real meaning now.

Honestly I don't like how upset this Texan makes me feel. But the facts are I can't help but see how much damage he has done and at what cost. The key now is just what will it take to undo…

"What would GWB know about freedom? This man has done more damage to personal liberty, due process, human rights and individual freedom than any president in American history.

Kun, punishment just doesn't work.

Again and again studies have found that people who commit crimes are not deterred by punishment. Just doesn't enter into the equasion when people like this are making decisions to hurt people. Deterrents work for rational people. These are clearly not.

Bring back impaling people…
