Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.

A Prescription More Potent than Pills
Dr. Daniel Herlihy, Author of 3 books, will discuss a proposition for tomorrow that he is against removing homeless camps, or making it a crime to panhandle. Daniel contends that this is being done in the smaller cities around Dallas and may come here soon. And, as a person who experienced homelessness for twelve years, he argues that the problem can be helped by medicine. Daniel points out that a new specialty of medicine is social medicine. It's a field that sees individual health as more than simply a function of diet, exercise routine, genetics, and so on. It recognizes that our health is inextricably linked to our social and economic condition. The air you breathe, the job you have, the income you have, and your social connections are much larger drivers of health outcomes than the number of primary care visits or surgeries you have access to as a patient. He will outline how this will be implicated and explain the homeless lifestyle to remove the misconceptions surrounding the topic. Examples are found in his latest book: Twelve Years Homeless-- a Medical Odyssey.
