Open Letter to Newt Gingrich "English is the language of business, and Spanish, don't forget, is the language of love and romance. The only poem worth reading is the one written in Spanish, because it is the only one that sings! A truly educated person speaks more than one language fluently." Mosaic Virus by Carlos T Mock, MD

A Monkey in a Suit Losers of wars are the only ones that are tried for crimes against humanity. The United Nations says about 2.4 million Iraqis are refugees-having left their country to flee persecution-and 1.9 million more are "internally displaced," having fled their homes but staying in the country. Death estimates are in the hundred of thousands. To me these are definitions of genocide.

Unsettling Supreme Court decision on abortion procedure Medicine should be regulated by our respective Medical Associations. Groups like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists argue that depriving physicians of this option would create real danger. Difficult ethical choices should be left to be decided between the physician and his patients. This is precisely an area where less government is the best choice.

OPEC and Iraq/Iran We have not learned from the Iraq experience: invading a country does not protect your currency.

With these words, let us wed There is nothing that the GLBT community can do to appease its opponents except, perhaps, disappear. But in one of the exit polls in the 2004 presidential election that got the least attention, 60 percent of voters favor either gay marriage or civil unions. The younger the voters, the more likely they are to favor marriage. To me, that is reason enough to fight for same sex marriages instead of civil unions.

Is Health care a right or a priviledge? You can measure the wealth of a country in many ways. The real wealth of a country depends on how healthy and educated the population is. In both of these measurements, the U.S. is behind some Third World countries. Health insurance is not a priviledge--it's a right. We, as the wealthiest nation in the world, have an obligation to educate and take care of our citizens' health.

So much fuss, so little sense "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The Sad State of Our Republic Five years of war combined with the worst tax policies turned a 200 billion surplus inherited from the Clinton administration into a trillion dollar deficit. In the process, Mr. Bush, helped by his choice of Fed Chairman, has created the worst economic crisis since the 1929 depression.

Why a 700 mile fence makes absolutely no sense Legislation authorizing 700 miles of fencing along the southern U.S. border was signed into law by President Bush on Thursday, October 23, 2006 at a ceremony that underscored Republican divisions over immigration policy and left questions about whether the entire barrier will be built. However, the wall will not address the real problem of immigration, nor will it address the real problem behind job losses: outsourcing.

Congressman Foley: Gay or Pedophile? It would be much more appropiate to use the term: men who has sex with young boys. Gay has nothing to do with his mental condition; as roughly the same number of pedophiles and ephebophiles are heterosexual or homosexual.

With due respect Mr. Bernanke, a Soft Landing? The Two Year US Bond has a yield of 4.88% while your 10 year bond has a yield of 4.63% and your 30 year bond has a year has a yield of 4.75%. This in spite of all your prime interest increases this past year. The yield curve for US Treasury bonds has been inverted for a while; a strong signal that the market expects a recession and a clear indication that the Fed may have to lower interest rates in the near future to prevent

Economics 101 – What the Wall Street Journal will never tell you. Ever since the election of Bush, the conservative American newspapers have been lying to their readers. These fiscal conservative papers have had to swallow the election of a president that has never vetoed a spending bill. He has taken a 200 billion dollar surplus to a deficit of 6.6% percent of GDP. The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.93 billion per day sine 9/05!

The Truth About Iraq's Civil War that our Government will not tell You There is a revelatory lesson in all this urban warfare and jihadist violence: From Baghdad to Beirut and from Gaza to Kabul, these recruits to the ultimate in reactionary cults threaten the existing states in the Muslim world far more than America or its Western allies. They are one side in a conflict centered within the Muslim world. Contrary to President George W. Bush's notion, this is not America's long war against terrori

Chicago, a sick city Addiction is a disease-you may choose to divide it between legal drugs but the truth is that it is the same disease; therefore, they should be treated in the same way. Treat all addictions with the same treatment protocol – with rehabilitation – not selectively imprisoning for drugs deemed 'unacceptable' and ignoring completely the other addictions.

The sad state of our economy - liquidity crunch "The surge in yields came in the past couple of weeks but the upward move, from about 4.5 per cent to about 5.25 per cent on the 10-year bond, has been under way since March. Borrowing US dollars for a few years has got more expensive, and the shape of the yield curve has changed as well. At the start of the year borrowing for five or 10 years cost less than borrowing for one. Now the reverse is true.
