    whattheheck, Why is it that support of Israel's right to exist implies support of all of their actions? I support Israel, and I even believe in their right to act militarily in support of their security, but creating a humanitarian crisis in Lebanon doesn't help their security. Support for Hezbollah has only increased. I am so sick of anyone who opposes Israeli aggression being accused of being an anti-Semite, or in the very least of not supporting Israel's right to exist.

    Great article. I've been complaining about the American version of "What Not To Wear" for years. The main problem that I have with it is the way they act like it is such a shocking and terrible crime for anyone to dress in a way that does not conform to what they consider to be stylish. Without fail, they take uniqe, often interesting looking people, and ridicule them until they give up their identity and give in to materialism and consumerism.

    I think that very few people would disagree that most drugs have a negative impact on society. What I think needs to change is the reaction to them. Putting drug addicts in prison doesn't help anyone, and most especially doesn't help the addict. It only stigmatizes them for life, preventing them from being able to find a good job, eliminating financial aid for school, etc.
