I just wanted to comment on your segment about Women being unhappy. I thought it was fantastic but wanted to add a few cents. No way should women still be doing all of the work at home. The womans movement was not to continue the "jobs" they were doing but to do more. It was about equality. I would be damned if my husband didnt pull his share around the house. Some males wont and those need to be let go back into the sea. The more standards us women have and stand by them the more males will step up and the less load on one person. Our society still puts down women. The media is unhealthy and depressing toward women as are some men still. Women need to take stands for change. Thank you for a fantastic show and the extremely important topic. Kudos to you Emily on a continued awesome job well done.

Regarding the Sec. Reville interview, it would have been better reporting to have someone with an opposing view. As you can see, Reville statements contradict his own written words, i.e. the email that is referenced.

All accidental overdoses are caused by adulterated, improperly labeled, and improperly manufactured drugs produced by this illegalization war just like the previous Prohibition war on alcohol consumers produced the same results. Legalized, pure drugs packaged in safe doses are 100 safe. It is impossible to accidentally overdose on properly labeled drugs that are packaged in safe doses just like it is impossible to accidentally jump off a tall bridge and impossible to accidentally swallow fifty pills when you intended to take only two. Even the illegalizers, who are certainly the most illinformed people on the planet, could not do so.
The Dangerous Epidemic is the drug war, not drugs. The biggest danger to young people and everyone else to murdered, assaulted, robbed, and/or arrested by the armies of government and private thugs who have been produced and sustained by this evil war against human beings and their freedoms. Likewise, young people are in danger of being killed or seriously injured by all the adulterated, poisoned, and improperly labeled drugs that are produced by this insane prohibition war. Millions of young lives have been destroyed by being put in prison and millions more have been devastated because their parents were put in prison.
Opiates such as morphine and its analogs which include heroin are the safest and most effective pain medicines. Unlike the synthetic pain drugs such as vioxx and hundreds of other drugs produced by the government licensed cartel which have killed millions, opiates are safe and do do not cause organ damage. When opiates such as heroin were legal along with cocaine and cannabis, there were practically NO accidental overdoses. Likewise there was no crime or violence associated with these products when drug fighters and illegalizers were not allowed to murder, assault, rob, and arrest millions of innocent people.

The Wall Street Journal never seems to figure in any of your "Beat the Press" Friday show discussions. I find this curious and disappointing on two counts.
One fairly consistent (and interesting) theme of your Friday shows is the crisis in various forms of media, including traditional newspapers and their webbased counterparts. Your panel discusses the need for the media to differentiate itself from other outlets if they are to have a hope of surviving in the future by charging for access to their web sites. The BEST existing example of this type of success is the Wall Street Journal which has become the number 12 online news paper in the United States and is growing in readership. Yet, never a word is heard about its success on Greater Boston. Why not?
The other thing I find curious is that when discussing individuals and organizations on the right of the political spectrum, the panel tends to mention the "usual suspects" Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Fox News which are so easy to caricature and dismiss. Yet, here, too the Wall Street Journal never gets mentioned. I have found the WSJ editorials and opinion page articles to be factbased, measured and well reasoned. Why not bring this level of conservative intellectual rigor into the discussion?
