Today's Health - Wellness / Exercise / Reflections:The 'I' ClinicBy John H. Sklare, Ed.D, / Dec 22, 2010I've always been intrigued by human behavior. As a lifelong observer of people, I pay particular attention to the words we use. Words can tell you a lot about a person. For example, when it comes to taking personal responsibility for things that happen in your life, the use or non-use of the personal pronoun "I" can tell you a lot about a person.
Those that shun personal responsibility often avoid taking responsibility by blaming everyone else for their problems. They'll say "they," "he," or "she" did something to them, and will never say "I" when referring to the cause of their problems. Here's my solution: Use more "I" statements. The more "I" statements you make, the more behavior you'll own and personal responsibility you'll accept. If you're always blaming others for your life decisions, it's time you join Dr. Sklare's "I" Clinic and start taking more individual responsibility.

Take Action:
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA. Imagine, Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of senile - Sen. John McCain: because of their Hateful anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform. Further, Their Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and blocked Immigration reform! We shall hold the voters of Arizona responsible!
- NEW: Boycott Target and Best Buy for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). It prevents Fed'l employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. It prevents married gay couples from gaining Fed'l Benifits.
- We need ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). We do not want to be fired from our job because we are GAY!
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! Do not donate to them
- Boycott Gold's Gym for donating loads of money to anti-gay candidates.

The Huffington Post | Nick Wing; 12-22-2010On Tuesday evening, with the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell headed for the president's desk, Barack Obama signaled that he will continue to push for gay rights by tackling the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as between a man and a woman, and emphasized that his attitudes on gay marriage are "evolving."
During an interview with The Advocate, the president laid out a timeline for implementing the DADT repeal, which he said would take "months" not "years," and stirred up hope for further gay rights reforms under his watch.
Tracing comments he made during a sitdown with progressive bloggers in October, Obama asserted his attitudes on gay marriage "are evolving," a significant shift from his previous stance on the issue. The president maintained, however, that he still favors "robust civil union[s]" and understands that the issue is a complex one.
"I've wrestled with the fact that marriage traditionally has had a different connotation," Obama said. "But I also have a lot of very close friends who are married gay or lesbian couples."
Asked what other gay rights legislation the White House might be expected to take on in the next few years, the president responded:
I have been struck -- let me take the former -- repealing DOMA, getting [the Employment Non-Discrimination Act] done, those are things that should be done. I think those are natural next steps legislatively.Obama continued, explaining that he would look for a legislative solution to combat DOMA, which also allows states not to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states:
As I said before, I have a whole bunch of really smart lawyers who are looking at a whole range of options. My preference wherever possible is to get things done legislatively because I think it -- it gains a legitimacy, even among people who don't like the change, that is valuable.Despite the positive rhetoric, the president conceded that Republican control of the House would likely mire progress on these issues, though he insisted that attitudes toward the gay community "are changing rapidly."
