impeachmentRepresentative Dennis Kuchinich has presented a 35 count Impeachment Resolution against George W Bush yesterday. I encourage support of his throughly detailed resolution that outlines examples of "high crimes and misdemeanors"

A "debate" between E Fuller Torrey and Thomas Szasz wherein Torrey postures and postulates and hogs the floor spouting undocumented assertions about schizophrenia while avoiding responding to legitimate critiques about his own points of view.

From the New York Times: Influential Harvard psyciatrists Dr. Joseph Biederman, and a colleague, Dr. Timothy E. Wilens accepted millions in "consulting fees" from drug companies while advocating that children be prescribed psychiatric medications. Dr. Biederman is widely regarded as
"...one of the most influential researchers in child psychiatry and is widely admired for focusing the field’s attention on its most troubled young patients. Although many of his studies are small and often financed by drug makers, his work helped to fuel a controversial 40-fold increase from 1994 to 2003 in the diagnosis of pediatric bipolar disorder..."
Biederman and Wilens, who administered federal government research grants at Massachusetts General Hospital, said they did not realize that taking approximately $1.6 million dollars each, in consulting fees [would some refer to this as a bribe?] from drug giant Johnson + Johnson was either a conflict of interest or might be seen as an ethical problem.
