California just made a huge positive step in Healthcare

Governor Jerry Brown made California the fourth state in the US on Monday to allow physician assisted dying. Yes, only the fourth, and it's disappointing that the numbers (or the lack of) overshadow the real achievement. Everyone has the right to live, and everyone should have the right to die. Of course life is sacred, but the opponents of this law must not seriously think that California's true intentions are to have a genocide. They simply just want to help those people who have no hope of a cure, and are suffering. That's it, there is no story here, Everyone is allowed to make their decisions about their life and body. If you can go and get an abortion from a professional, you should also be able to go to your doctor to die. They are there to help you and to lessen your pain. In any way possible. Of course we support that background checks must take place, and several doctors (including psychologists) should sign off before you are allowed to die. You sho...

Sanders's Big Night

PC: Patrick T. Fallon The first Democratic Debate of 2016, and the last one before voting starts in Iowa on February 1st, happened on Sunday night in Charleston, South Carolina. The debate was focused around Bernie Sanders. He still leads in New Hampshire, he is now at least tied with Hillary in Iowa, and nationally he is closing in on her too. America is feeling the Bern, and Sanders hopes that the South will too soon. After the vibrant debate on guns, Wall Street and ISIS, the campaigns now are courting black voters as everyone is trying to win Iowa. Hillary is traditionally polling better with the black voters, and Sanders is from an almost all-white state, but there are signs that this is changing. And Sanders doesn't have to win a majority of this voting block, but for the March primaries it will be enough if he can just chip away a sizeable part from Clinton's support. Everyone was waiting for the fireworks. And they got it. Bernie Sanders has been creeping up ...

2 debates, multiple winners

Scott Olson/Getty Images Over the last couple of days there have been two Presidential debates in America. The Republicans met for the fourth time in Wisconsin on the 10th, while the Democrats met yesterday for the second time in Iowa. Both of the debates were significantly different from the ones they previously had, and it was interesting to see how the dynamics change. But at the end of the day, there are always winners and losers, and we were there to see it. Here is what happened: In the Republican debate, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz stood out. For Rubio it was the second consecutive debate in which he performed really well, gave clear policy answers and had smart comebacks for those attacking him. His chances look better and better everyday, and there is no an indication that he was able to keep his momentum going on from the strong debate performances on his campaign stops. He is rising in the polls and is getting more and more donations. Rubio is still comi...

Hillary won the first Debate, but Bernie delivered too

Credit: www.slate.com Hillary Clinton won the first Democratic debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas, but Senator Bernie Sanders also performed well and delivered what he intended. In many ways, this debate was even more anticipated than the Republican ones, and it certainly gave us a lot of answers. Emails. Joe Biden. Benghazi. Outsider Politicians. Wall Street. Guns. Hillary Clinton had the most to loose last night, and Bernie had the most to win. And they both delivered to an extent. But the former Secretary of State came away from the CNN debate as the candidate who had the best night. Clinton is clearly very smart and knowledgeable, she gives clear and contextual answers and is a highly skilled debater. She performed very well. But it was together with Bernie that they controlled the stage. They had the most time to talk, and everyone payed attention to them. Poor O'Malley. While Clinton performed the best overall, Sanders received the biggest cheers from the ...
