I want us all to face our fears and stop behaving like our goal in life is to merely survive. "Surviving" is for wimps and game show contestants stranded in the jungle or on a desert island. You are not stranded. You own the store....You deserve better.

Here's what I don't think works: An economic system that was founded in the 16th century and another that was founded in the 19th century.

There's no violence coming from the Occupy protesters.

Instead of the Government spending $400,000 on immunisation, we may get far better health outcomes if we spend $100,000 in some other way, on nutrition for example...When you have an expenditure on getting your community healthier, then the resistance to many childhood diseases is stronger.

Most people don't see themselves as Democrats or Republicans. They see themselves as Americans.
