Thanks for taking the time to point out what too often gets lost in today's climate of paranoia: people worry about the wrong things [Dec. 4]. I race motorcycles, so I often hear ill-informed proclamations about the danger I face. I contend that fast food and tobacco are much more likely to kill you than riding is. My father always said, "You can do safe things dangerously and dangerous things safely," and when you consider that nearly half of fatalities from motorcycle accidents involve alcohol, my odds improve.

In fact, it was S2754 that funds adult stem cell research, and Senator McCain voted for this bill...
...probably won’t offend you, it certainly won’t make you feel warm and fuzzy. And, with the exception of the highly annoying and entirely unnecessary 16-minute instrumental track (don’t ask), there’s nothing blatantly wrong with the album—other than the fact that it kind of makes you feel like giving up. If you liked Damien Rice before, when he was only mildly melancholy rather than out-and-out bipolar, then you’ll probably like this album. However, if you like coherent vocals, the occasional...
