They are both powerful. Yes. Is one a catalyst for the other? Is one contingent upon the other? If they were not powerful would they cease lying? What exactly is the connection between LiARS and POWER?

They are expected to go out into the world and earn a living so they can support their family. Women take this on all the time and do a swell job.Even so we cannot escape gender expectations even though we know they are shoes that don't always fit. What gender expectation do you most dislike? Why?

Getting a death threat from some wacko nutjob just because you espouse a cause or support someone of whom said nutjob disapproves is insane. All death threat senders are wacko nutjobs. Period. :(

The Japanese military units were on the run from the Allies, had to hide in the jungles, and were practically starving to death, forcing them to forage for food. The sounds of far-off explosions of artillery and air-to-ground bombing continually permeate the audio as a constant reminder of the relentless approach of the Allied fighting force that pursues the Japanese. The soldier in question trudges back and forth from the makeshift field hospital to his Imperial Japanese Army unit (identified as a mixed battalion), neither of which accept him. At the field hospital, he was turned away because he didn't have a combat-related wound, he merely suffered from something such as yellow fever or malaria, and the food they provided for patients was becoming more scarce day by day.

It is a terrible price to pay for serving your country during time of war on the battlefields. Do you know any vet whose life has never been the same who struggles just to survive day by day? Just to say "thank you for your service to our country" seems woefully inadequate.

Not of what you experience all the time because things happen over which you have no control. But you are ALWAYS in control of how you react and what you do with it.

Of course folks don't ask permission to talk about other Answermug members among themselves as they post away and often hack and slay. I wonder why that is?

What make one interference so unacceptable while all the others are hunky dorry? Men take Viagra or whatever the current magic pill is because they are impotent otherwise. Why? It interferes with the body's natural processes does it not?
