Scott Gesslers agenda gets a once-over from Governing magazine
Governing magazine has an interesting piece about the agendas of newly-elected secretaries of state, including Colorado’s Scott Gessler, that asserts they have more Activist agendas than those of their predecessors. The authors cite Gessler’s statements that he plans to seek tougher voter identification laws, including a move toward mandating proof of Citizenship as a prerequisite for voting. “His predecessors’ agendas were primarily administrative — running the office effici

GUATEMALA CITY - Five people are dead and 10 others injured from a fire inside a Guatemalan passenger bus that police say may have been caused by an Arson attack.

Activists to Branstad: Keep current voting rights rule
A coalition of about 20 Activist groups asked Gov.-elect Terry Branstad on Monday not to follow through on a pledge to rescind an Executive Order that automatically restores Voting Rights to ex-convicts. The groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, sent a letter to Branstad expressing support for a statewide policy adopted in 2005. That's when Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack issued a blanket order restoring voting r...

Reform Castro Style
Here is the real "reform" going on in Cuba that the "Cuba Experts" do not like to talk about. All varieties of individual freedom are against the law in Cuba, like the freedom of Cubans to travel when and where they want, including on the island itself. Which is why nine Activists with the Central Opposition Coalition were arrested Monday morning in the town of Placetas, in Villa Clara province. They were rounded up as they were to gather in the town's main park to display sign that said, for ex...

Equality, a True Soul Food
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF NYT John Steinbeck observed that “a sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ.” That insight, now confirmed by epidemiological studies, is worth bearing in mind at a time of such polarizing inequality that the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans possess a greater collective net worth than the bottom 90 percent. There’s growing evidence that the toll of our stunning inequality is not just economic but also is a melancholy of the soul. The upshot appears

Mental illness growing for Asian-Americans
HOUSTON, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Mental Illness in the Houston Asian-American community is growing and more severe than ever, health experts say, and studies show the problem is nationwide. A 2003 national study by the Ford Foundation found Asian-American women have the highest rate of Suicide among women 65 and older and the second-highest rate for women between 15 and 24. Despite this, studies show, Asians are less likely than the general population to seek treatment for mental illness. Cultural and l...

On county jails and treating mental illness
There’s really only one thing that needs to be said about this op-ed, which was co-written by Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia and HPD Chief Charles McClelland. Texas ranks 49th in the nation in per capita spending on Mental Health services. Only 25 percent of Children and 18 percent of adults with severe Mental Illness and in need of services from the public Mental Health system in Harris County are able to receive them. Now, Texas lawmakers are looking to cut funding to the already ...

Americanitis vs. Chinitis
Becoming a richer, more powerful country has rarely been relaxing. In the magazine this week, I write about the advent of a new era of Psychology in China, which reflects the mounting pressures on ordinary citizens in an age of prosperity. There is precedent here. In 1881, at the height of the American industrial revolution, New York doctor George Beard published “American Nervousness,” about the fraying effects of modern life. Every person was born with a limited supply of nervous e...

Canadian Writer Explains Why Islamists Cannot Compromise
Violent Islamist Extremism is akin to Mental Illness and not rooted in Poverty, memories of Western imperialism, and anger over the Israeli-Palestinian situation, Robert Sibley writes in Monday's Ottawa Citizen. This is ignored by the chattering class, Sibley writes, which believes that "[i]f only the West would apologize, make Reparations, abandon Israel, leave the Middle East and Afghanistan, all would be well." He draws this from a new book, New Political Religions, by Barry Cooper. Cooper d...

Nick Clegg's sinister nannies are 'nudging' us towards an Orwellian nightmare
Welcome to the Year of the Nudge After 13 years of New Labour nannying - all that non-stop hectoring about what we should eat, how we should raise our kids, where and with whom and how often we should have sex - many people breathed a sigh of relief when the Lib-Cons seized Downing Street in May last year. This rosy-cheeked government promised to elbow aside nanny and replace her with a renewed respect for individual autonomy. It sounded wonderful. But they’ve done nothing of the sort. I

NYTimes Nicholas Kristof: Only Big Government can solve melancholy of the soul with more taxes! [Darleen Click]
Kristof would have you believe that teen Pregnancy, drug use and Violent Crime is not the result of individual poor choice, but because of Income Inequality within the society. [British epidemiologists, Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett] argue that gross inequality tears at the human psyche, creating anxiety, distrust and an array of mental and physical ailments — and they cite mountains of data to support their argument. “If you fail to avoid high inequality, you will need more Prisons ...

Social Inequality And A Melancholy Of The Soul
Nicholas Kristof continues to more than justify my subscription to the New York Times. Today’s column offers yet another reason for concern at the widening gap between rich and poor in this country: “a melancholy of the soul” that leads to “high rates of Violent Crime, high narcotics use, high teenage birthrates and even high rates of Heart Disease.” Kristof is discussing a new book epidemiological researchers Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, The Spirit Level: Wh...
