Words of Wisdom from "The Wise Guy"

"Yep, proud to be liberal. This is not to say that liberals cannot be tolerant to a fault, misguided, or Pollyannaish; they can. But c'mon, it's not a derogatory term! – Communism was not synonymous with liberalism; it was an unjust, imperialistic bastardization of Marxism and socialism, which has vision and beauty marking it. "
-- Jason Merchey

	Modern Day Mental Health Segment 1 \| Humankind has made incredible progress since the days of hunting and gathering. In fact, when one loses one's cellphone or when the refrigerator is on the fritz, it creates a sense of shocking modernity. Are we addicted to our items? Do we rely on drugs and entertainment at an alarming rate? Why are we sicker than when we had less freedom and riches? How many of us really seek the outer reaches of what we're capable of? Are the science of psychology and the discipline of psychiatry on the right track? Is modern reality really reality TV shows? [^]

	Morality In Society Segment 1 \| Morality is a personal concern, yet our beliefs and decisions about right and wrong can affect others. For example, the decisions that our friends, family, neighbors, community leaders, and religious leaders make affect us, and vice-a-versa. Also, there are societal issues that government has a role in legislating, judging, and intervening - for our own good. But where is that line drawn between personal responsibility and legislation? Can the government successfully legislate morality? Should government spend time and resources managing obscenity, decency, and pornography - or is this Big Brother censoring our personal lives? [^]
