1. YES. America needs a Woman as President. To do so would not be something new among the nations of the world. Israel and United Kingdom (known to Americans as England), Germany, Argentina and others who have trusted women to lead their country. I believe that if just the nations in the Security Council of the UN had women as leaders, the world would be a far better place. Women see the world differently and can be stronger in taking action, being "ballsy" to fight the opposition, cooperate with all whom are part of the solution, reaching promised goals for their nation and standing firm until those goals are met. They would find ways to prevent wars because women have always had to deal with males who war against them, even in their own homes. Male Presidents of U.S. Have never even acknowledged domestic violence as a horrible crime in America. In fact, it took until mid-20th century to acknowledge that child abuse existed and was a crime. Even later to acknowledge child sexual abuse and incest was a dreadful crime. Even later that for a husband to beat his wife half to death was a crime. Even later to consider that rape was a crime if the female said NO; even later to acknowledge that date rape was a crime. A woman president would have led the way for children and women to have justice. As we can understand during this election, a woman has the kind of concern for each human being that she will demand health care for each person. And, that is just the beginning of demanding that all persons receive benefits that improve their lives. AT THE SAME TIME, A WOMAN PRESIDENT WOULD BE A STRONG COMMANDER IN CHIEF WHO WOULD HOLD HER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE'S "FEET TO THE FIRE" TO DEAL WITH, IN THIS CASE 2008, IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. SHE WOULD NOT LIE TO THE PEOPLE AS THIS TERRIBLE TEXAN HAS DONE SO MANY TIMES. SHE WOULD BE THE KIND OF TOUGH NEGOTIATOR WHO WOULD FIND WAYS TO DEAL WITH ROGUE NATIONS WITHOUT STARTING WARS. She would surround herself with strong, knowledgeable people with greatest of integrity. She would be willing to choose people around her who would disagree with her in order to strengthen her decisions; not choosing 'yes' brown-nosers like Condolezza Rice, Powell and others who went along with Bush's lies to the American people even though they should have questioned Bush and found out the truth. Women are willing to be a "tough bytch" if that is what it takes to get the best job done. Let's have Senator Hillary Clinton become, not only the first woman President in the United States, but the most brilliant President ever to serve the country. Let's not elect a military man who is trained to automatically seek a military response or a weak 'rock star' that cannot think of what to do for the country---he only says "ditto" to ever proposal to serve the nation; if that isn't evidence of supreme weakness in any leader, then what is? The country needs Senator Clinton instead of the candidate's speech is considered "his standard speech everywhere he goes"...he has no original thoughts, just a fantastic 'rock star' presentation of the same words over and over. It is time for the United States of America to have a strong brilliant woman as President. read more...

2. Absolutely YES. It is time for societies and religions of the world to stop their hatred and their ugly name-calling and defamation of any person who loves someone that they disapprove of. They must quit condemning a person who loves a person of another race or religion or ethnic group or of the same gender. No God approves of hatred but loves each person HE has created. Those who say that they believe in and follow God are the worst of sinners when they condemn the hearts that love according to how He created each person. The world needs more true heart love; and will benefit greatly when those who hate quit their hatefulness and accept that every person should be accepted regardless of whom is loved by one heart to another. Love is good for the world. God is love, and God approves of all romantic heartfelt love that is what He created in the hearts of all humanity. There must be a stop to jokes and hatefulness about an older person who loves a younger person, of a black person loving a Caucasian person, a man who is gay loving another gay man, a woman who is lesbian loving another lesbian, a Baptist who loves a Muslin, a Tibetan who loves a British person, a Catholic marrying a Buddhist, a redheaded woman loving a blond headed man, a Swede loving a Japanese, and on and on. Anyone who hates any of these loving relationships does NOT love God nor can ever meet God's requirements for the Heaven that He has created for His children. Love is beautiful and brings great beauty to lives. Thank God that individuals can and do choose to love differently in spite of what religions and societies think are correct. Let love be. And, let every person love the person who captures his or her loving heart. If this would become reality across the world, the world would be a happier place and wars would cease. read more...

3. So sad that anyone would ever suggest that the serious, sometimes deadly, medical disease is some kind of fad. All that believe such dreadful attitudes obviously are among those who are blessed with positive physical brain health where they do not have inadequate communication across the nerve endings, the basic cause of numerous other serious physical-medical damaging health conditions. Some include ADHD, restless legs syndrome, thyroid diseases that often lead to horrible mental illness as well as various physical illnesses, developmental medical conditions, and more. The physical-medical, clinical depression is not 'sadness', but is a debilitating medical condition that can only be helped by anti-depressant medications, which are NOT some sort of "happy pill." Blessed are those who do not find themselves so physically debilitated that they feel so deep in a tunnel that they cannot find a way to climb out of that tunnel or stop the falling down a cliff that only suicide seems the only way to deal with it. No matter how much we love and are loved by others, we cannot find a way to get out of the severe depression until we find a physician who will prescribe one of the many medical medications called 'antidepressants' that can save our lives. Depression is a severe physical disease that affects everyone who loves the patient; and they know that it may become their disease as well because, like many other physical-medical illnesses, depression seems to have a familial, inherited cause as well as a familial environment cause such as child abuse, incest, domestic violence, parent in prison or, and other damaging emotionally -related causes. Oh, that scientists find a way to vaccinate against the physical cause of the disease. Scientists cannot stop damaging family environments. I pray that that day will come when nobody suffers such a heinous disease and that those who presently suffer from it can find a way to avoid suicide. read more...

4. If you had an original autograph of Abraham Lincoln, Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth 1st, John Lenon, the last Czar, Mohammad, Jesus, and other significant people of human history, you wouldn't say that 'collecting autographs is meaningless! You would maybe sell it for millions or you would guard it so that it could not be stolen because of its historical and financial value. read more...
