Hillary Clinton said that she feels sorry for the young people [who] distrust her and don’t believe she will act on climate change. She claims they haven’t done their research, but in actuality, that’s WHY they distrust her. Because they HAVE done their research.

The genes identified with marijuana addiction have been identified as the same genes linked to depression and schizophrenia. The new research published in JAMA Psychiatry, studied 15,000 people and found that those at genetic risk for depression are more likely to get addicted to smoking pot. Though conflicting data has surfaced over the years, those with a predisposition to depression and schizophrenia are more likely to self medicate with routine marijuana use much like alcohol abuse, causing continued depression.

Top Pope Francis advisor Cardinal George Pell admitted that the Catholic Church has made “enormous mistakes” in dealing with sexual abuse allegations as he testified at a public hearing of an Australian investigative commission in Rome. Was Pell complicit in the church’s cover up of the sexual abuse of thousands of children by priests over centuries? We look at the Vatican’s lack of transparency.

When fear becomes collective, when anger becomes collective, it’s extremely dangerous. It is overwhelming… The mass media and the military-industrial complex create a prison for us, so we continue to think, see, and act in the same way… We need the courage to express ourselves even when the majority is going in the opposite direction… because a change of direction can happen only when there is a collective awakening… Therefore, it is very important to say, ‘I am here!’ to those who share the same kind of insight.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist Monk, The Art of Power
I’ve been in deep despair these last few months about our political landscape. This quote from Thich Nhat Hanh recently elevated my spirit, and I share it with you. Because I am — we are — still here! Though it’s clear that the die is cast and that Clinton will win — that is, if you believe in numbers and materialism, but I don’t, not completely.
