What impresses us the most about this quick look at Facebook is that the writer, a resident of Stockholm, is just as concerned about the CIA as we, even though he's well outside the "official" grasp of the U.S. government. Perhaps we're not so paranoid after all.

Post traumatic stress disorder and other issues involving disabled American veterans have become the focus of a new film entitled, "Who Will Stand." There are many films about the war in Iraq, but a small team of Las Vegas filmmakers decided that the soldiers would be better served by addressing the issues they deal with after they return home.

Documentary Tackles PTSD & Wounded Soldier Issues

More American soldiers kill themselves than are killed by the enemy, and many others suffer the effects of post traumatic stress disorder. As many as eighteen soldiers a day are committing suicide and most of those soldiers kill themselves after they return home. Their divorce rate has tripled since the beginning of the war and substance abuse among veterans is four times the national average. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg according to Who Will Stand producer/director Phil Valentine.

Coming In For Dinner

by Kaya McLaren
author of Church of the Dog

For me, the late thirties are dinner time on a summer night when you’re a kid. Your mom calls you in to have the obligatory meal and clean-up with the family, but you’re not ready to go inside. You’re not ready to give up your wildness for table manners. I’m supposed to be hearing my biological clock go off, but like a kid that’s building a fort in the woods too far from the house to hear her mother, I can’t seem to hear my biological clock either.
