For example, there are groups that make excuses for perpetrators of violence (he was a victim of a feminist-hijacked family court), use abusive strategies (defamation), and harrass women. They lobby for laws, sue domestic violence shelters, trivialize domestic violence among other things. What can be done about it?

What has been happeneing in the last fifty years? the last 100? Have we expanded technologically beyond what we are capable of individually understanding and controlling??. Do we have too many choices in this life? Have we lost the way---our primal selves are creating the mood disorders as a way to combat the unnatural techno world we have created and perpetuate??

Think of this...I do know Socio-economically we have technology that the average family cannot purchase without encuring debt..... here in the US most of us can't afford the new gadgets being offered to us. Do we really need all this stuff? Time to simplify and then I feel we will be more free. Back to the basics folks. One computer one cell phone one camera. hmmm one flat screen...hmmm see it's hard.

All my pts have mood disorders. all my neighbors too. All I have to do really is engage them in a conversation ..and It comes to the surface. ah well. thanks for your observations. :)

http://www.fivemanelectricalband.ca/signslyrics.html

The lyrics are there.

"The song "Signs," originally performed by the Five Man Electrical Band and also covered by Tesla, takes a stand for communal ownership of property. What are the costs and benefits of communal ownership of property? Assume that "keeping mother nature in" is purely selfish - does the invisible hand principle still apply? How about in a situation where fences are illegal?"

Can someone please explain to me what communal ownership is?
And does anyone have any answers for the other questions about the invisible hand metaphor by Adam Smith?
I really need help brainstorming ideas and answers.
Thanks to anyone who will answer! =]

I know it's a business, but when all else fails, and you really need care, support, and advice that seems genuine, you go to a psychiatrist or psychologist, short of being admitted, if that's how bad it gets, and yet when I went to visit these people, I've had to search for months to get the right one because they just weren't measuring up.

Most give you typical Psych101 babble that you could have picked up in a psychology course anyday, and they don't empathize in anyway. They just look at their clock, and tell you how many more minutes you have and that's that. It's disappointing and ridiculous.

Is this how it is, or are they just bad examples of doctors?

It's hard to even find a good regular doctor or a specialist.

So many seem to just be business oriented or have other agendas.

I'm sorry but it's disguisting. If you're going to USE people, and not care about them, it's blatantly obvious to those of us like me who are mature to see through it.

For shame.

Charles Shulz, the cartoonist of Peanuts, led a dark and miserable life and was always depressed. Like me, he had an ex name Joyce who used to *itch at me all the time and was portrayed as Lucy. His father told him he'd have a big head for some reason so that was Charlie Brown. It makes sense when you hear people that have the greatest talents are some of the most depressed. Does this story touch you in any way?

I had a dream that I was having sex with a woman... and I am physically a woman (but mentally I don't think of myself as having any gender). It's the second time I've had a dream like this, only in this one I'm actually doing stuff instead of just kissing and I'm the dominant one like in the last one. I'm starting to think I'm subconsciously attracted to women or something... I don't have a problem with that, but I want to know what this dream might mean...

When I was at school I was determined I would be a successful hairdresser/beautician and one day have my own salon but after I qualified in both I gave up. This was because I hated the salon I worked in and with each day my confidence decreased. Sometimes I miss it but the thought of going back into it (after 7yrs) fills me with dread so at least I know I made the right decision. The problem though - is the fact that since then, although I am generally happy I have no ambitions - I feel like I'm plodding along! I'm happy when I have something to work towards but I don't have anything to work towards anymore and that bores me! Help!

I dreamed that someone rang my doorbell and asked to use the toilet. He was dresed in the uniform of a local shop, so I wasn't suspicious. But as I opened the gate he reached into his pants where he had a gun concealed. I grabbed the gun from him and managed to escape, but didn't know if he was still in the house or if he had another weapon. I think I may have shot him, too.

For some background, I strongly disapprove of guns for anyone except the police.

I was in my neighborhood and there was this old wooden house sourrounded by dark trees and bushes. Like a hauntd house..but in m dream i didnt think so. I walked in the house and there was my best friend. We didnt talk but we went upstairs of the house and there was an attic. We really didnt care so we came back down, and the whole house where we had just been was full of people. There were kids and counslers from my old camp that i wouldnt even remember but when i look back at my dream i remember them. I went to this camp 3 years ago but i dont really remember the people. So then i saw sitting by a wondowsill by the house my frend from skool and she spilled a galss of milk.

I had a dream about tornadoes last night. I was in this big house and I was with my family and I watched two twisters, one right after the other, come through the neighborhood. They vibrated the windows a little but no harm done. What does this mean? I have a dream book and it said that tornadoes meant disaster in my own affairs, home and/or business. Are these dream books accurate? They have been accurate in the past but could it be that it was coincidence? Please tell me what you know. : ( I'm scared.
