Forget about a good job - that's a career - something like a long-term job manufacturing things, or a job with a pension or a good health insurance plan. Forget about going to college or trade school. Because Wal Mart has a deal for you! You, too, can work at Wal-Mart, where even if you do all your shopping at WalMart, your paycheck still won't cover your cost of living so you'll qualify for things like Medicaid. Isn't there a big problem with our economy and the way we treat veterans - when the best we can do is offer them a job at Wal-Mart when they come back?

When a young Tunisian activist set himself on fire - the Arab Spring was born. What kinds of change could - and should - the death of a young activist here in America bring about?

The Good! *San Diego Mayor Bob Filner (D)* Filner has sent memos to zoning and code enforcement officers in San Diego - ordering them to end all code enforcement actions against medical marijuana facilities in that city. Filner is also encouraging the city council to take up the issue of formal zoning rule for medical marijuana distribution. And - he has directed the city's police chief to end all medical marijuana enforcement actions. Elected in November - Filner ran largely on a platform of decriminalizing marijuana and protecting the use of medical marijuana. It looks like Mayor Filner is one politician who understands just how out-dated and ineffective this nation's drug laws are. Let's hope he's just the first of many.
