Is ADHD a disorder, or are people just different?

Transcript of an online conference with Thom Hartmann.

The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) called on media to stop
inviting Ann Coulter as a guest commentator and strongly condemned her
comments that Jews should be “perfected” by accepting the New Testament

all Americans were Christian.

Columbia University, by inviting Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
to speak, has shown confidence in the wisdom and adultness of their
students and our republic.

It’s difficult to watch Democrats play checkers while Republicans play
Chess with Iraq. It’s particularly difficult on Memorial Day as more
Americans and Iraqis die. But the Republican Party has been playing
politics with Iraq since the day after the Supreme Court installed
George W. Bush in office in 2001, and they have no intention of
stopping now. They may have borrowed some techniques from Richard
Nixon, but they have no intention of repeating his mistakes.

The oldest human right defined in the history of English-speaking civilization is the right to challenge governmental power of arrest and detention through the use of habeas corpus laws. Habeas corpus is roughly Latin for "hold the body," and is used in law to mean that a government must either charge a person with a crime and allow them due process, or let them go free. Last autumn the House and Senate passed, and the President signed into law The United States Military Commissions Act of 2006, which explicitly strips both aliens and Americans of the right of habeas corpus, the right of recourse to the courts (as provided in the Fifth through Eighth Amendments to the Constitution), and denies appeal through mechanisms of the Geneva Conventions to those designated to lose these rights by the President.
