And in non-economic news

Some news buried in the back pages of newspapers:

  • Army to phase out “stop-loss”
  • US endorses UN declaration calling for de-criminalization of homosexuality
  • New federal policies on medical marijuana

See, things are getting better ! :wink:

It’s pretty telling that this post got no replies in 24 hours.

I am particularly curious to hear what those who say Obama is so anti-military have to say about the phasing out of “stop-loss.”

And also, it was an embarassment that we didn’t sign on to the declaration calling for the decriminilization of homesexuality and I am glad that time has passed as I believe we were the only western nation to to have signed.
