A Common American Of Uncommon Courage
2008-04-29 22:53:00 The New York Times ran this editorial on Sunday in praise of Laura Berg, a VA nurse who received the new PEN/Katherine Anne Porter First Amendment Award.As the Times tells us…The PEN American Center, the literary organization committed to free expression, is honoring an American most people in this country have never read or even heard of: Laura Berg. She is a psychiatric nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital who was threatened with a sedition investigation after she wrote a letter to the editor denouncing the Bush administration’s bungling of Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq war.That’s right, sedition: inciting rebellion against the government. We suppose nothing should surprise us in these days of government zealotry. But the horror and the shame of that witch hunt should shock everyone.…Her superiors at the hospital soon alerted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and impounded her office computer, where she keeps the case files of war-scarred veterans she treats. Then she r...

Interracial Marriages Not Uncommon in Urban Areas
2008-04-21 17:30:00 When it comes to interracial marriage, many Koreans picture farmers marrying women from China in suburban areas. However, a recent government report said the trend is changing fast ― many of the grooms live in urban areas and are marrying for the second time with Vietnamese women.The report said many of these couples suffer from poor-communication and financial problems. They are also reluctant to have children, it said.According to the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, only 12.4 percent of 30,208 men married to foreign women in 2006 made a living in the agricultural or fishery sector ― a huge decline from 30-40 percent in the past.Many grooms were previously married. In 2001, 66.7 percent were getting married for the first time, but in 2005, the number decreased to 55.4 percent. The portion of males on their second marriage jumped from 32.3 percent to 43.2 percent over the same period.Lee Sam-shik, a researcher at the institute, said in these cases many men who div...

The Uncommon Philosophy of Simple Living or Voluntary Simplicity
2008-03-12 03:22:00 "The more money you spend, the more time you have to be out there earning it and the less time you have to spend with the ones you love". - Tracey SmithSimple living (simple life, frugal living or voluntary simplicity) is a lifestyle in which individuals consciously choose to minimize the 'more-is-better' pursuit of wealth and consumption. Simple living as a concept is distinguished from those living in forced poverty, as it is a voluntary lifestyle choice. The term "downshifting" is often used to describe the act of moving from a lifestyle of greater consumption towards a lifestyle based on voluntary simplicity. If there is understanding of the difference between the body and the soul, then, just as we don?t neglect to supply the physical with food, similarly, we don?t live in the illusion that our inner craving or emptiness can be satisfied by endless material consumption.In order not to consume unnecessarily, we need to make a distinction between the body and the self.

While most people have no lingering side effects once the tattoo scabbing and healing process is over, there are a small percentage of people who experience some type of allergic reaction. Tattoo allergies are often the result of the type of inks used.Ink IngredientsMost tattoo artists don’t really read the ink labels to see what ingredients are in there but if you are prone to allergies, chances are your tattoo allergies will be the result of red or yellow ink. In the past, many brands of tattoo ink used mercury in them but this practice has greatly declined because of its harmful effects.However, inks today that can cause tattoo allergies contain such elements as nickel, cadmium and chromium.
