Russell Simmons needs to contact Martha Stewart. According to Yahoo! she is calling for reforms in prison sentencing not just for nonviolent first time offenders but for reform in drug sentencing too.

I am done finally with this semester and I feel a little strange, without purpose. Now comes the mad rush to get holiday presents even though I tell myself every year that I won't get swept up into the consumerism, I still find myself at the mall looking for "just a little something" for my family members. The semester isn't even officially over and I find myself frantically checking for grade postings three times a day. I am such a nerd.

It's going to be a very hungry Christmas for starving children this year.
President Bush, in an effort to curb the outrageous deficit, is cutting $100 million from Food Aid programs. In my opinion, if you want to win the war on terrorism, if it is a winnable war, stop blowing up villages and hand the poor people a sandwich. If they are less hungry and desperate they will be able to think rationably about wearing strap-on explosives and walking into an army base.

There is a lot I have to say about the state of healthcare, pharmaceuticals companies, the NIH, the FDA, and HMO's, but that will have to wait until I can formulate a full, coherent blog posting. Until then, smell ya later.
