    Some talk of mental health being the issue here.
    Is mental health a bigger problem in the US than in other developed countries ? and if so why ?

    The governing philosophy for the last three decades both here and the US has been an era of ‘market triumphalism’, but both the UK and US have had difficult in reaching at a new consensus of what government should do
    Sandel’s main objection is that such approaches do not lead to democratisation of services for the “public good”, and more ambitious goal of civil virtue through redistributive justice may be more welcome
    It’s a tough balancing act, as he will be keen not to present the State as too bulky or interventionist, but likewise, if he can pull off a discourse about why ‘looking after each other’, i.e. solidarity, say for example in protecting the health and welfare of disabled citizens in society as well as further ‘individual choices’, Ed Miliband will have pulled off a remarkable political contribution
    http://legal-aware.org/2012/09/ed-milibands-lab12-conference-speech-a-need-to-define-the-markets-and-community/
    For months after their defeat Labour remained too obsessed with fiscal rectitude—and fratricidal drama—to offer any real alternatives
    Miliband was doing more than just stealing the clothes of David Cameron’s now discarded compassionate conservatism. By reminding his own party of their duty to build a country “where prosperity is fairly shared” he finally put a stake through the heart of New Labour
    Miliband’s “One Nation” Labour offered a left populism that embraced both economic justice and what Michael Sandel, the Harvard philosopher who spoke to a huge, and occasionally bemused audience here two days before Miliband, referred to as “what money can’t buy.” As mood music, Miliband’s invocation of “One Nation Labour” is already a hit
    But Maurice Glasman, a Saul Alinsky-style community organizer who was the new Labour leader’s first appointment to the House of Lords, hopes for a more substantial change of tune. “Capitalism cannot be regulated at arms length,” The architect of “Blue Labour”—a strategy sometimes described as a blend of economic radicalism and social conservatism—Glasman, like Jon Cruddas, the MP in charge of Labour’s policy review, is neither an old fashioned statist nor a neo-liberal preaching accommodation to market values
    Miliband’s “One Nation” vision. “It’s about strengthing and supporting associations and institutions that aren’t defined by the market,” he told me. “That isn’t how liberals see it. They efficiency, choice, progress. But Labour politics is rooted in the democratic resistance to the commodification of human beings.”
    erm …
    At ground level that means forging links between trade unions and religious groups
    http://www.thenation.com/blog/170407/ed-milibands-new-left-populism#yeah Ive heard this that he recommends promoting other values … it kinds of dips a bit for me where he ‘comes out’ at the religious fork …

    funny you should mention personality as a negative thing DomesticExtremist I was just about to try it out as a way to define non commodified values …
    How Shared Value Is Created
    the concept of shared value has the power to unleash the next wave of global growth
    Companies can create economic value by creating societal value. There are three distinct ways to do this: by reconceiving products and markets, redefining productivity in the value chain, and building supportive industry clusters at the company’s locations. Each of these is part of the virtuous circle of shared value; improving value in one area gives rise to opportunities in the others
    http://hbr.org/2011/01/the-big-idea-creating-shared-value/ar/4
    the big society is about being more proactive
    asking ‘what can I do for my country’ the big
    idea is more to do with ‘what am I already’
    and doesnt have the decentralising aspect …
    people seem to have difficulty defining non market values …

    The Big Idea v Big Society …

    These proposals are about giving the courts access to all the information so that they can hold the Government to account. Only certain parts of a small number of cases that involve highly sensitive intelligence information will be heard in private. The rest of the case will be heard in open court and the judgments will be published. The proposals will not mean that less information is public – just that more information is available to the court
    http://www.justice.gov.uk/legislation/bills-and-acts/bills/justice-and-security-bill
    hmmmm that can kind of be used to justify secrecy where every attempt should be made to keep it open … who decides what sort of information is a state secret ?

    The torture takes place in an anonymous facility
    um yeah I can relate to that …
    Drawing on millions of pages of CIA documents, the US Senate intelligence committee has concluded that intelligence work, rather than torture, led to Bin Laden
    maaan any excuse for the sadism … like yous have these infra red cameras that can tell you when you just farted and yous can’t see where Bin is pull the other one chaps …
    So, it seems that scenes conceived with the same bent logic as the Fox network TV series 24, where torture was routinely shown to elicit vital information, were included for dramatic, political or even pornographic effect
    and thats supposed to be a good thing is it …
    It seems too unbelievable, yet the sanctimonious self-worth evident in Blair, Allen and the former foreign secretary Jack Straw, who, incidentally, seems to have misled the House of Commons on Labour’s involvement with rendition, is precisely what allowed Britain to ignore torture treaties and render men to have their fingernails pulled out
    the hypocrisy of western governments that outsourced brutality and whose representatives watched as people were sodomised and electrocuted and cut
    and whats Daves posture on that then …
