| House Democrats led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) have introduced legislation that would create a federal Department of Peacebuilding, which would be tasked with everything from finding ways to scale back U.S. military actions to ending bullying at schools. Under her bill, H.R. 808, the new department would be led by a cabinet-level Secretary of Peacebuilding, who would have a seat on the National Security Council. The department would be "dedicated to peacebuilding, peacemaking, and the study and promotion of conditions conducive to both domestic and international peace and a culture of peace."

Comments:
Just what we need, another bloated, incompetent, corrupt federal agency costing billions of dollars. s/o Of course the bill doesn´t state the amount of money needed. It just never ends with these idiots. The fool Dennis Kucinich was the first to propose this. Now he gets to show his brilliancy on Fox News.

Government is not capable of solving these problems, and most of what they would attempt to do would exacerbate them, not solve them.

An idea who´s time should never come.
...and of course it comes from California, bringing us the best examples of governing bodies that continue to push for ever-more government spending in the face of huge, mounting debt with no end in sight. What the heck is wrong with these people?....oh, I forgot, they aren´t spending their own money and there is no oversight, accountability or consequence to them, the spenders. So much fun to spend money when the checks are written out of someone else´s checkbook.

"This culture of violence that we live in is unacceptable," Lee said earlier this month. "On our streets and across the globe, the pervasive presence of violence has infected the lives of millions, and it is far past time we address it as a nation.
Tell that to your buddies in Hollywood, to the mayor of Chicago and to the music industry that promotes violence in its music.
As for "addressing it as a nation", why not start in the schools where God, the Pledge of Allegiance, prayer and actual education should be reinstated? How about tests actually mattering? How about children getting graded on performance instead of good intentions, and where teachers teach something other than class-envy and America-hatred?
Realizing that those days are, unfortunately, long gone, it´s a nice bit of nostalgia for remembering when America´s culture was NOT so violent and coarse and "unacceptable".
I´ll tell you what´s unacceptable, Congressman Lee: another bureaocracy into which American taxpayer dollars are poured with nothing in return.
This bill is DOA.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”
