All around us, we are seeing signs that the economy is going south. The dollar is weak. Gas is nearly $4 a gallon here in Idaho. People are losing their homes and those who are selling theirs are having a hard time.

I was very excited to see War of the Worlds sometime in the future. My blogging friend Nancy Nordenson recently saw it and wrote about it here on her site. Then Tom Cruise had to go and make ridiculous and irresponsible comments about psychiatric illness on the Today show.

I believe it addresses well the steps needed to meet the challenge of disaffected students who resort to violence. And I believe that FAS is an important voice in […]
