I say at this point for different reasons Bush and Hussein are both very threatening to world peace and to deny that is to be incredibly naive.

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

Patriotism has served at different times as widely different ends as a razor which ought to be used in keeping your face clean and yet may be used to cut your own throat or that of an innocent person.

Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008 we said it differently.

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me I just followed my parents around on their errands when they were busy on the phone I was quiet.

There are some great questions to ask your doctor. If he says 'no ' then you find yourself a different doctor. There really has to be a change in how we medically look at women at this time. I mean this is not just baby gloom.

If you are cast in a different mould to the majority it is no merit of yours: Nature did it.
