...think it's a question that needs a little more clarification. If the question is, "Would providing over-the-counter antidepressants be a way to get needed medicine to clinically depressed individuals?" then you might have one kind of answer to it. And if your question is, "Should antidepressants be available like other recreational drugs, like alcohol?"" then you've got a slightly different question. The trouble, I guess, is there's a lot of concern that if you start providing needed medicine to clinically depressed individuals over the counter, it will pretty quickly become a drug that's used...
...answer the first question,] I think there's pretty wide consensus that antidepressants work best when they're used in conjunction with other kinds of treatment. If you use antidepressants under the supervision of a physician, you can also talk about how to address some of the [underlying] problems - if the sadness is caused by life events, the death of a loved one or the breakup of a romantic relationship, or if the sadness is caused by a feeling that you don't have control over your work, or by being in an unhappy marriage.

...most likely answer in Marulanda's case, as it was for so many Latin American guerrilla leaders, is that he was driven by both impulses.

The answer, of course, is that it's a movie, which needs only to create an alternate world, populate it with memorable characters, and be true to its internal logic, however skewed. Kaufman has constructed a most devious puzzle, a labyrinth of an endangered mind. Yet it's one that - thanks in large part...
...Which raises the question: Who are the bad guys rooting for in 2008? John McCain would have you believe the answer is clear. Barack Obama wants to meet with the leaders of enemy states, especially Iran, "which would increase their prestige," McCain says, and convey the impression of American weakness. To punctuate the point, McCain persistently barks that Obama wants to meet with the Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a flagrant anti-Semite but a relatively powerless figurehead. Obama did say during a debate last summer that he would meet with foreign leaders without preconditions. "He shorthanded the answer," Senator...
