+ TruthOut offers "The Hidden Issue of 2010" by E.J. Dionne Jr. Excerpt: "For Republicans, American power is rooted largely in military might and showing a tough and resolute face to the world.

Notice that when Obama spoke (in the State of the Union address) about keeping America in first place, he said not a word about the military. He referred instead to the efforts of our competitors in the public sphere of the economy, and of our past complacency."

5) I take full responsiliblity here and now for everything I experience, for it is my own programming that creates my actions and also influences the reactions of people around me.My own thinking about these things over the years has led me to conclude that ...
6) I accept myself completely here and now and consciously experience everything I feel, think, say, and do (including my emotion- backed addictions) as a necessary part of my growth into higher consciousness.
We are intimately, intricately and infinitely connected by a matrix of unconditional, unlimited and uniting LOVE which is miraculous, mysterious and marvelous.
S&P also offers an excerpt from the book.
