While the area tends to be warm and dry much of the year, there are times when there can be weather events that can alter the course of daily life. One problem comes during the spring much of the time. The area around Las Cruces can be subject to winds, which occasionally cause significant dust storms. People who have lung conditions or allergies may want to take precautions during this time by staying inside or running a humidifier or air cleaner. Those who must be on the road during these times will also want to know. They may be caught in conditions that make it impossible to see very far ahead on the roadways. This can result in accidents so many people will want to find alternate routes. Some may elect to stay off the highways completely until these conditions have cleared.

Hail is often another problem for this area. Damaging hail can harm homes, vehicles and crops. While it may not be possible to prevent damage from this, people can do things like put their cars under shelters or stay off the roads if they have enough warning about these types of storms.

More trouble often comes during the late summer monsoon. This weather pattern brings moist air up from the Gulf of Mexico. It may bring heavy rainstorms at times to the area. These sometimes bring lightning and thunder. People may need to take shelter if they are working outside during these times, as do children who may be playing outside. As lightning can be deadly, people need to be extra cautious during these times. There is always the potential for flash flooding when rains come in heavily or suddenly. Cars can be washed from roadways very easily and sometimes entire highways have to be shut down because of flooding. People who need a Las Cruces weather update can check with the networks website or news broadcast to find detailed information.

Moynihan Was “Incensed” At Criticisms
In response to the public outrage created by announcements by banks that they had planed to start charging a monthly fee for customer’s debit card usage, Moynihan told employees in November 2011 that he was “incensed” at the criticisms.

This sound bite is the equivalent of the comment which Tony Heyward, ex-British Petroleum CEO, when he infamously said that he would “like his life back” during the ongoing Gulf oil spill crisis. British Petroleum granted Heyward’s wish shortly thereafter, as then he quietly stepped down from his position.

Here is what we had said as far back as November of 2011:
“Don’t be surprised if Bank of America makes a change at the top. This is just another in a series of waffling blunders by Moynihan and his lieutenants.” Just to refresh your memory, here is the back story. Banks had been under pressure to find more sources of revenue as the result of bills passed by Congress that limited the income banks could earn from merchants who accepted debit cards in payment for merchandise and services. For example, the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill lowered the cap on how much banks could charge merchants each time a customer used their debit card to pay for a purchase.

Then The Banks Backed Off From New Debit Card Fee
In a sudden reversal, the banks gave in to irate customer protests. Credit unions and small banks were eating the big banks’ lunch over the debit card fee issue. These competitors had been luring customers in with aggressive marketing campaigns promising no debit card fees.

The Fresh Winds Of Change Are Blowing
Now we hear from a professor and banking industry expert Tony Plath who is singing the same tune. “Brian’s days are numbered,” Plath said, pointing to a recently published Wall Street Journal story that discussed Moynihan’s struggles in detail.

Should You Worry About Bank Of America?
Should you be worried about shake-ups at one of the largest banks known to man? Hardly. Always keep this mind and be sure to remember that your money which you have deposited at a federally insured bank like Bank of America is protected up to $250,000 per unique account title. The FDIC has protected hard working Americans from bad bank management for decades and will continue to do so.

Today’s candidates are banking on scaring the hell out of people in order to get elected. They are pandering to the insecurities of the common folks who have been clobbered by the excesses of previous administrations and are not even sure they can keep a roof over their heads or pay for the basic costs of life. These candidates are propagandizing the rich and greedy with the ridiculous notion that taxes are something unfamiliar to our American tradition of shared responsibilities, when in fact, taxes are, as Oliver Wendell Holmes eloquently put it, the price of civilization.

Politics has always had a nasty tone to it, but the changing technology of communications has exacerbated the problem to the point that something must be done if we want to continue to be sincerely proud of our democratic society. I would like to offer a modest proposal: Anyone holding him- or herself out as presidential timber must have had at least one year of weekly face-to-face psychotherapy with a licensed marriage and family therapist or other licensed mental health clinician. No therapy = not qualified! Nothing of the treatment needs to be disclosed, but it must be certified as having taken place.

Here’s what would be different: (1) Potential candidates will be assessed for emotional problems, and diagnosed if they have mental disorders. (I would suspect most of them meet the criteria in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders” for at least one personality disorder, most often Narcissistic Personality Disorder.) (2) Through therapy they can make progress in becoming aware of their dysfunctions, and motivated to heal from them. (3) They would learn how to behave and communicate in healthier ways that allow for not only vigorous debate, but also for seeing things from another person’s point of view without fear of losing their own power or sense of self. They would learn that truth is composed of opposite factors, that leadership requires empathy as much as ego, and that great progress can be made with a lot less testosterone. With too much testosterone loose in the body, the mind simply cannot think. Thinking, in the psychological sense, means being able to consider things objectively and reflectively in a truth-seeking manner. We can’t afford to entrust our nation’s well-being to politicians who are incapable of thinking.

Untreated mental disorders are disastrous when they are located in the person at the top, because the inherent distortions of reality filter down through the organization, whether you are talking about a family or a nation, a parent or a President. Psychotherapists need to do a far more effective job of sharing what we know about what goes wrong in the human mind, and what needs to happen to repair the damage. As a nation we truly cannot afford to bury our heads in the sand while testosterone crazed politicians hijack our political process.

Psychotherapy is not a panacea, but it is a reasonable starting place to address an important aspect of what’s wrong with our political process. One year of treatment is a very minimal standard, but it beats the hell out of no therapy at all. Anyone who thinks it is adaptive and acceptable behavior to go on national television to try to verbally destroy a political opponent sounds suspiciously to me like a person who would benefit from some psychotherapy. Wildly inflated self-assessment, inability to talk frankly and candidly about one’s shortcomings, refusal to seek out compromises for the good of the whole, etc., are symptomatic of a mind that has some serious troubles.

An emotionally healthy person is someone who sometimes slips into a state of mind where he feels anxious or defensive; but an emotionally healthy person soon can then move into a second state of mind in which he is fully capable of observing himself. He has an observing ego — the capacity to see himself as someone else might see him, and be curious and interested in learning more about that perspective. In that state of mind, a person can feel regret for harming another person, and can experience genuine empathy for another person’s experience, and can genuinely apologize for harm done. A person who has a history of trauma, neglect, abuse, or emotional deprivation in childhood is unlikely to have capacity to achieve that second mental state without therapeutic intervention.

Life is all about relationships. Let’s make certain that we elect Presidents who have the mental equipment required to create and maintain healthy relationships. Mandatory psychotherapy for all candidates seems like a fine idea to me!
