The united states military awards the purple heart to service members who have been wounded or killed in combat. but traditionally the award is restricted to those who have received "physical" wounds -- to be blunt, visible wounds that draw blood. in the wake of the iraq and afghanistan wars, not to mention vietnam, it has been proposed that the criteria for the purple heart be revised to include traumatic brain injuries (which don't always leave a visible wound), and post-traumatic stress disorder (where the wound is "mental", not "physical"). traditionalists have countered that this would degrade the purple heart. do you support this proposal? why? what would you think about an alternative proposal, for an entirely new medal for those suffering psychological injuries?

Supreme court. jim, who is a bit eccentric, says that he is fed up with the way a certain employer in his town treats employees and that he is going to sue that employer in an effort to improve matters. jim also says that he is going to start his case at the appellate court level, skipping over all those "lesser" judges. jim says that those justices will surely hear him out and that he will also seek a jury. although he is not a lawyer, jim believes that the offenses of the employer are so severe that the justices will appreciate his attempt to make things better for the employees involved. will jim get a jury at the appellate court level?
