Hillary Clinton shook up the world in 1995 when she went to China and declared that women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights. Since then we’ve seen slow progress toward making that declaration a reality for over half the people of this world. Year after year we’d hear of annual meetings, reports, commissions, working groups, conferences, studies and U.N.…

As a Democrat, I found the health care law disappointing. Big Pharma and Big Insurance will make out like bandits with this law that does not do enough for retired and elderly people with Medicare.

Health insurance companies are donating money to Haiti, however many believe this effort is less than 'generous' given the size of the companies. These people are in dire need of services typically covered by dental insurance and individual health insurance policies, however these people in Haiti obviously have none of that.…

Once upon a time I taught EFL at the Haitian-American Institute in Port-au-Prince. I love Haiti and the Haitian people and have been heartsick at the terrible tragedy. I love teaching, and I love…
