DSM IV. Aggression as Mental Disorder
Fake news here. Duh. What would happen if the fabled, worshipped, also bunked Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders should includes Aggression as a mental illness. Just think of the marketing opportunities for antidotes to aggression's behaviorally addictive qualities. Trompe news: think of all that air going 'round and 'round in the proverbially trumpet. More air.

Religious Text Analysis, Tools

Creation
Creation: How did Evil originate? Not with Eve
A small play that Eden as spun did not see play, but you may.
Translation, Transliteration, what origins of what concepts, and were they agenda-driven? Silly question, Ben.
Context
Mithraism, Religion of Rome and Paul
And roots of the Roman Catholic branch of Christianity.
Characters: Tracing Fact from Elaboration
Sara la Kali, Sara the Black, Roma Saint
Explanations, file under Other
Pantera (Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera), and Religious Tradition
A persistent but speculative secular explanation for events many see as divine. Keep an open mind, now. Often the simplest is so, rather than the convoluted compled; and need not affect other matters.

Governments; Governing; News Control, Transparency in Reporting
By Dint:
Governing is like a bad divorce: both sides tilting Need for neutral fact-finding Install a neutral moderator in legislative committees (not at hearings) to facilitate discussion in partisan times, and ensure all positions are aired objectively at that stage.
Disclose nature of the reporting: interest, bias, financial stake
Disclosure of Financial Stake by News Purveyor or Owner of Media as to Legislation Under Discussion. Requirements for those reporting on governing. The more financial interest the purveyor or owner of the media has in the law, the more the broadcast or other dissemination shall be labeled as propaganda, such rating to be displayed to the public simultaneously with the airing or waving.
The Truth in News Sources Act.
Disclosure shall be required as to the source of news by name of overall owning conglomerate, not merely the name of the newspaper. That is, the same conglomerate may send out its news to seven papers it owns, and people think that is original source. Not.
NATURE OF GOVERNMENTS
Similarity: Sassafras and Governments: Varied at the bottom, sameness at the top.
Those who rise to the top get to look alike. Like dog owners.
GOVERNING SKILLS
Uses of Reverse. Can We Teach It?
Governing skills. People who govern need to know how to drive in reverse sometimes
Who Will Bell the Cat - Piers Plowman. In the 1377 English poetry version by William Langtrey, the council mouse found that no mouse was man enough to bell the cat, as Aesop had originally told. However, Piers goes further: What would have happened if the cat indeed had been belled.... as the mice first wanted. Would it have been worse? Watch what you seek.
FOOLING THE PEOPLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Propaganda in governing: euphemism, unwarranted extrapolation
FOSTERING PATRIOTISM
Child's Tale: Pledge of Allegiance and the Common Good We knew a piece had been left out.
NEED FOR SUNSET LAWS; ACCOUNTABILITY
Group formation; sunset laws, foundationalism
Political Parties: Who Needs Them After They Calcify. Sunset out the names every 16 years. Everybody rethink who to vote for. Platforms may grab planks from prior party designation.

Justice; Law Enforcement; Civil Justice; Criminal Justice
By Dint:
Promoting decorum in debate
Debatus Interruptus, Khalid's Law. Guantamee's behavior at their trials, if disruptive, shall only be criticized by those who did not condone such behavior by our own Tea and other residents, reference Summer of 2009.
Religious views to be excluded from reasons for proposed legislation
JC (Jesus Christ for those who prefer full names) Tradition of Autonomy for All, Voluntary Compliance. Let Those leave who want to, Peeps in Pulpit and Pew Autonomy in personal life over rules, so long as the personal or property rights of individual other residents are not impinged. Try pragmatic secularism in matters affecting others, the community.
Civil Justice and procedure
Parking Lot Attack Light Property Tax Abatement.
Public area design should not sabotage the ordinary user.
Jurisprurience and Strip Searches of Girls.
School days, school daze, fantasize with ghouls days.
No Senate Filibuster Unless Supreme Court Enacts Similar Provision for Its Proceedings
Criminal Justice and procedure
Police Reports: Criteria for Taint. The Cambridge police arrest of the Harvard professor for in-home lippiness against the police officer.
Oaths. Worth Anything? What Else?
Religious and other oaths; Holocausts, Bad Actors. Oaths are a hoax. Do Oaths alter behavior; or does self-interest, institutional interest, prevail.

Leadership - Qualities. Go Ahead. Change your Mind. Things Change.
True leaders are flexible as contexts change.
State of the Union: Hamlet's Soliloquy on Burdens of Choice in Action. The President's Speech. Follow President Obama's rehearsal in the Oval Office for the State of the Union Address, with his special Speech Coach. Matters of pitch and moment. King Claudius begins with the upper hand in persuasion; Hamlet believes he has the merit, but how to proceed. O, Fardels!
Uses of Reverse. How to Teach It. Can We?.
If you can't shift into reverse, don't drive. Productive uses of Reverse.
Chester A. Arthur, a president who improved in office
From patronage to reformer. He set aside his prior history of nepotism and did the right thing.

Sassafras
Allelopathy as a Defense, and Offense.
Learn from sassafras: Some plants prevent others from thriving in their shadow; make potential diners on their root, bark, leaf, sicken. Allelopathy.
Why did the Sassafras Survive - usefulness, fits the food chain, venerated
Its allelopathy enabled it to survive, fill gaps in the food chain. Allelopathy prevents omni-greed; allelopathy is contained.
Ginkgo
Ginkgo in Japan and Korea.
The ginkgo survived at Hiroshima. See Ginkgo, Plant with History. Is it resistant to radioactivity. Some say it speaks.
Ginkgo, Male or Female. Know Which.
Pick before you plant, lest the fruits overwhelm.
Medicinal uses of ginkgo, sources.
