Q: What are your thoughts on assertions of a conspiracy by Republicans to steal the presidential election -- made by Democrats and the mainstream media? It seems "conspiracy theories" abound today, by both the left and the right. What's at the core of this mentality?...
With persistence, people almost always find the romantic partner they want. This is one of the surprising things I've learned from years of being a therapist. I spend countless hours talking with lonely people who wonder if they will ever find the romantic partner...
Try to do some activities that you have reason to believe will help you feel better…right now!
Dogmatic commandments are not enough.
Never ask your spouse or partner to make a sacrifice for you. If you really love someone, then you don't wish to control them. It's not that you merely won't ask them to do something they don't want to do. We're not just talking about manners here. It's deeper than...
Some interesting new research suggests that it's not divorce itself which harms kids psychologically; rather, it's the way parents interact with each other that affects children the most. This finding is totally consistent with my years of experience as a...
A new poll claims that a large majority of American parents are very happy with their child's public school. This is certainly not my experience. I am a family therapist in Montgomery County, Maryland -- the location of one of the "best" public school systems in the...
In recent years, the Democratic Party has moved to the right. In most respects this has been phony P.R., of course, such as Clinton's proclamation that "The Era of Big Government Is Over" -- with his actions (from the Hillary health plan of 1994 onward) consistently...
Why is race such an issue to people? Or is it mainly an issue for members of the media? When I first heard that the Democratic vice-presidential nominee would be Joseph Lieberman, I did not think at all about his race or religion. My mind immediately went to his...
Al Gore promises that, if elected, he will make it illegal for all teens to drop out of high school before age 18. (Currently they may drop out at 16). In other words he wants to use the guns and threat of police force to physically force students to not drop out....
The abortion pill, the controversial RU-486, is now allowed by the FDA to be sold on the market. How nice of them. President Clinton insists the delay was purely scientific, and not political. Will this man's capacity for lying never exhaust itself? Of course the...
Vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman recently called for the United States “to reaffirm our faith and renew the dedication of our nation and ourselves to God and God’s purposes.”
What we have in the United States today, in health care and other fields as well, is government largely running the show while we all pretend that it’s capitalism causing the problems.
If individual rights (or lack thereof) are the fundamental issue in politics, then one should judge political candidates for President based upon their stated adherence to (or lack of adherence to) the preservation and expansion of individual rights -- that is, to be...
Al Gore claims he is trying to fight for "those who need a champion, those who need to be lifted up so they are never left behind." Exactly who is Al Gore championing, and in what name? Is he championing the ideas of independence and self-responsibility? The idea of...
Al Gore promises cheap or free prescription drugs for everybody. Wow! What a deal! I'm going to vote for Gore. How nice of him! Where has he been all these years? Wait a minute. There must be a reason why some drugs are so expensive. Could it be that drug companies...
A comment I heard from a radio disc jockey sums up exactly what's wrong with our country today. "Whatever you think of President Clinton, he sure is a charmer," he said on the air. "Can I vote for him a third time?" The disc jockey is right. It's sad, but true. A...
Do not interrupt. Allow your partner to finish what he is saying. When there is a pause, politely ask, "Are you finished?" Actively listen. In other words, think about what she is saying. Look for evidence of honest misunderstandings. They are almost always present....
In my last I covered seven principles of Stress Management. Here are seven more:8. Process your feelings, and introspect, regularly. When you encounter a dilemma or issue, discuss it with a close friend, a professional counselor, or yourself (e.g., in the form of a...
Under pressure from the religious right, the Illinois Board of Education has quietly eliminated the word "evolution" from state school standards. Liberals complain that this violates the separation between church state. But they're getting exactly what they deserve....
Families of Columbine High School shooting victims plan to sue the gun manufacturers. I have a better idea. Why don't we sue the public schools? If not financially -- then at least morally. Guns and bullets don't kill people; bad ideas do. Unhealthy ideas make twisted...
