I’m sure anyone and everyone addicted to The Mentalist knows what it feels like to crave for that mind power Patrick Jane uses on a daily basis (or per episode at least). I love it when he uses it to solve cases and specially when he helps people overcome their weaknesses and general issues. One of my favorite episodes was that time Jane was hypnotizing Rigsby and trying to un-hypnotize him. It’s just so intriguing to imagine how ’free will’ can be modified using a soft tongue and a few pressure-point

In fact‚ you say that ’eco-mentalists ignore the fact’ that these men died‚ and that they focus on the extinctions of animals during that period instead.

Dear Editor‚ I’m a regular newspaper reader. Recently I stumbled upon Jeremy Clarkson’s article about tigers. Upon reading it I discovered that I strongly disagree with some of his ideas and points of view and the way in which he writes them. On a personal level I am also fond of these wild animals‚ which gives me reasons to criticise this article.
