Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source and so on.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues the legal issues sexual harassment date rape women who kill and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.

As a part of preparing those lawsuits learning about those lawsuits I learned about the various nuclear issues in parts of the nuclear production process I guess you'd say.

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.

It is sad that the Republican leadership is not as interested as they say they are in protecting the institution of marriage as they are in waging a campaign to divide and distract the American people from the real issues that need to be addressed.

I think that all areas of the budget have to be scrubbed. Clearly the entitlement issues have to be reformed and that's an issue that's going to require I think some strong bipartisan cooperation and leadership.

I think national issues play into gubernatorial races less than obviously in Senate and Congressional races. Much less. They tend to be more decided by personality leadership qualities and by state or local issues. They still have some effect no question about it but not as much as Senate and Congressional races.

Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.

I have never been afraid to stand up to the leadership on issues where we disagree. If you chose to keep Cambridge Labour then I can continue to press the Government for the things that matter to you in a way that members of the opposition are unable to.

The things journalists should pay attention to are the issues the political leadership agrees on rather than to their supposed antagonisms.

I also believe that it is time to begin the fundamental analysis of how we got here what led us here and what we need to do in order to ensure that we are equipped with the best possible intelligence as we face these issues in the future.

When I resigned I put the U.S. Government on notice that I'm going to stick to policy issues that I have no intention of going out and blowing the cover off of the intelligence operations that those are truly sensitive and they should not be exposed.

Now I'm a failed political consultant. But sometimes fiction has a way of capturing people's imagination in a way that non-fiction doesn't. Conservatives typically haven't written much fiction - specifically political thrillers - over the years to educate inspire and mobilize people on issues of great import but we ought to.

Well it's a humor strip so my first responsibility has always been to entertain the reader... But if in addition I can help move readers to thought and judgment about issues that concern me so much the better.

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt its essence is love. It issues not in laughter but in still smiles which lie far deeper.

Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness.

The difficulty of IVF or of any fertility issues is the hope and the shattered hope the dream that it might happen this time and then it doesn't happen.

It's like if you can't focus on a movie for 90 minutes without looking at your phone then don't go to the movies! You've got some issues so you should probably stay home and work on those issues and not distract everyone with lights and sounds oh my gosh the tapping on the screens it makes me crazy!

White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home.

The history of our country is cruel. We have to face those issues or should I say we had to. Not anymore I hope because we are going in the right direction and we are ready to forgive ready to move on.

But let me tell you this gender thing is history. You're looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues.

Part of the problem is voters know relatively little about Romney. And some of what they know about him complicates his task: Romney has a history of flip-flopping on issues he's extraordinarily wealthy and he can be tone-deaf about what moves voters. He just doesn't seem comfortable in his skin.

If you look at U.S. history through religious history there is very much a motif that shows the importance religion has played in the U.S. We're a very religious country and it affects the way we look at various political issues.

You can't make assumptions when you're dealing with health issues.
