Wow. My nationstate has really been crazy lately. It stayed pretty stable for a few weeks as a "Father Knows Best" state, but it's been jumping from "Psychotic Dictatorship" to "Fascist" to "Left-Leaning College." Can't really beat Brandon's "Powerhouse" economy though. I bet he's got Lou Ferrigno kicking Alan Greenspan's ass in that country.

I found a really good motto today; "Labor unions shall suffer from daily air strikes."

At one point, I was asked to choose my nation's position regarding teen depression. Me, Mr. science minded guy, immediately dismissed the issue, chalking "depression" up to mental weakness and placed it in the same category as the "science" of "pyschology." Pffft. I scrolled down, however, and because of my life as it is, I was forced to change my stance and adopt the following position:

"Actually, a lot of depression cases in teens are related to school and all the stress and pressure young people are under to succeed. A greater effort to correct the problem of depression should start there, with more funding so that schools can provide better counseling programs." Comments Dr. Konrad Utopia, author of the book "Tomato Soup for the Soul". "That way teens who are depressed can get help even if their parents can't or won't take them to see a psychologist."

It kinda hit home.
