It pleasures me to find that there are still many thinking people around the world. Gives me a lot of hope. I don’t agree with all of them, some I find downright difficult to accept. But they aren’t letting their minds get lazy. Others express thoughts I have thought myself, only they have said it better. Here are a few that will get the neurons firing. individual essayists  Scott Bidstrup /

But she does speak clearly on some issues. The following is one of them: the so-called
White House Conference on Mental Health.
