...star's survivors and friends are also pressing for answers. "The doctor has showed some bizarre behavior," the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has ministered to the family in recent days, told People. "Apparently, the doctor was with Michael, maybe administering to his back pain. And then, the next thing that happens is there is a 911 call ... Then, of course, the doctor did not confer with the family ... He didn't sign the death certificate. He didn't talk with the coroner. And then he was missing in action.

Longevity, drug abuse, school performance and dropout rates, teen pregnancy, criminal behavior and incarceration - if you can measure it, a sociologist has; and in all cases, the kids living with both parents drastically outperform the others...
...seems like if this cycle is going to be broken, it's going to require changing people's behavior on a really large scale. The first thing I suggest is, when you see something and you're motivated by price - and we all are - you walk away. Take a walk around the store and think about it. Freud said there are two parts of our thinking system. The primary process is the impulsive, playful, I've-gotta-have-it-now side. The second is the more thoughtful, contemplative side. Get that secondary process going. Think about why you want this...
