So much news over the last several days about the strike in syria a week ago, the dropping of a bomb in eastern afghanistan, sabrerattling on both sides with respect to north korea certainly the United States and north korea involved in that china and russia.

But im still on the side of, you know, nonviolent crimes, for people going to jail for that, its still a tough decision to make. She was an interesting figure, a rising star, nelson. Four years ago, really an unheardof person outside the political realm, who was able to get a mainstream job, and many thought there would be a ste ....
