Scott, ED, and myself.  So this post marks an initial foray into that venture,  which I believe Scott is calling Ideological Dexterity Collaboration. For the first round anyway Scott has agreed to play h

A piece in the Scotsman on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder includes this tidbit: The modern understanding of PTSD dates from the 1970s, largely as a result of the problems that were still being experienced by US military veterans of the war in Vietnam. One of the first descriptions of PTSD was made by the Greek historian Herodotus. In 490 BCE he described, during the Battle of Marathon, an Athenian soldier who suffered no injury but became blind after witnessing the death of a fellow soldWorldNetDaily Posted: August 15, 2009 1:00 am Eastern © 2009 One of my favorite movies of the past 10 years was that great epic trilogy by J.R.R.
