The Sound of a Smoke-Free Barack...Mo Rocca appears on a bunch of shows, including CBS News Sunday Morning (with the indescribably wonderful Charles Osgood), The Tonight Show on NBC, and NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! He's a sometime judge on Iron Chef and was featured on Telemundo's Amore Descarado. Last year he starred on Broadway in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

46. P.S. *Most* of the part of my post #32 referring to religion was *primarily" intended
for Chris Hawk, not Paul. My apologies for not making that more clear.
To my post #32 I would add the following to Chris Hawk, who appears to often misrepresent what others are posting. By way of further example:
The fact that I had written that "feelings are feelings" is not *my* "impoverished view of human nature" as Chris Hawk claims. It's just three
words, that *he* added a lot of context into.
I never mentioned the entire run of emotions we have, including the "love for a spouse" as implied, I was merely addressing superstitious "feelings"
that another person posted about, i.e., they "feel god inside" them. As I pointed out,
so do Shaman in primitive jungles.
Somehow *that* got twisted and spun
around to marriage. Now for the no-spin fact: As a psychologist, I think most feelings are wonderful, beautiful and natural. I even think feelings about monsters, ghosts and other superstitions are natural and are born of
our natural survival instincts, including fear. If infants didn't fear the dark and older children didn't imagine superstitious things about the dark, they would become the victims of lions, tigers, wolfs, etc.
Fortunately,however, *most* of us can recognize *some* feelings as merely "feelings" that have no tie to any evidence. To not be able to do this, can lead to all kinds of psychotic problems.
*Many* people grow out of the feelings that are not *always* based in reality and focus on ones that are - such as a natural fear of self-proclaimed "terrorists, "cult followers" and "Aryan Christians" hell-bent on killing us "infidels". I fear them far more than lions, and tigers and bears - oh my.
Fear and aggression once served a useful purpose against predators, but now that we have mastered the animal kingdom, we all too often take out that natural aggression of each other. Recognizing these base instincts in ourselves and others, no matter how "natural" they are, are a small part of what my theory of self-evolution is about.

51. HELLO ALL DEMOCRAT VOTERS FROM THESE RESPECTED AND RELIGIOUS STATES OF OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, TEXAS, WISCONSIN, HAWAII. I BELIEVE THAT GOD LEFT IT UP TO YOU, IN YOUR HANDS, THE MISSION OF DECIDING WHO'S GOING TO BE THE BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY, It will be Anarchism or progress, you will decide what God put in front of you, two candidates: Hillary, who's a native of this country and can bring all the peace and progress all of us need, or Barrack Hussein Obama, who's already agitating the young people of this country (young kids can be easily manipulated) with false promise's and lies! the same young people whom are already accepting and calling Obama the new Che Guevara, who was a symbol of a Rebel Terrorist.
These same young people are now wearing red color clothing to patronage the communism color! Obama is not a Native American; he's an African Immigrant. God knows that in this Great Nation, we do have Brilliant and Intelligent people to govern and protect this country. We don't have to go out of this country to look for candidates. The Shocking part of all is to watch all these traitors governors and senators going against their own, to support an African Agitator. This is a country, with 80.1% of white population: Don't Vote for the Moment, vote for the Experience! Say no to anarchy and vote for an American Hillary. God bless you all.
