Nothing seems crueler--or more ironic--than these upper crusters who never pay a dime for their high-priced shrinks or reflexology sessions to call those who just want that tumor removed from their uterus a bunch of commies.

We as Americans believe it’s OK to kill people. We believe it’s OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

It's true that there's also much oppression of Palestinians in Arab countries, where Palestinians aren't allowed to vote or own property and are treated as second class citizens and pawns in the fight against Israel. But I'm not going to spend my time on this since there is isn't a whole lot I can do about it.

'Zero Dark Thirty' is a disturbing, fantastically-made movie. It will make you hate torture.
