2010 California Marriage Protection Act

Media Should Tread Carefully In Covering Suicide
It’s truly tragic that the suicide cluster is occurring. Palo Alto is so surprised. It’s a reminder that affluent neighborhoods have their own problems.

I’m glad that the media is trying to evaluate how best to report suicide.
Such an intelligent bunny.

‘Botax’ In Senate Health Bill Upsets Plastic Surgeons
I don’t think it’s fair to tax certain procedures more than others. But at the same time, don’t argue that:
“You’d be surprised how price sensitive people are to this…It’s a tax against women and the baby boomer generation having these procedures.”
