Check out the byu arcade! I built it from birch plywood; wife did the paintings. Alas, she is pregnant again and is worried about fumes affecting our future cougar, or something like that, and hasn't painted the other side.

I work as psychiatrist and frequently work with those who have used drugs. A few points: 1. Nobody ever woke up in the morning and said, "Today I will make a choice that will lead to life long desires for self-harming substances." People usually try drugs because they are experiencing incr...

What's sad is that he simply sees himself as serving the greater good by deflecting criticism from the president and protecting his party. The end always justified the means with this man.
