A Few Stories
Here are a few links to stories I found--two disturbing/thought provoking, one interesting/nerdy. The first is an editorial about racial discrimination in America's drug laws. I've read elsewhere that current drug laws arose long ago as a mechanism of prosecuting minorities in the south; it's sad to see drug laws are yet to become color blind. (But what in this country truly has?) The next is about the cities in America meanest to its homeless populations. I was a bit surprised San Diego didn't make the list. After seeing how homeless friends were treated there, I find it disturbing other cities do markedly worse. Finally, an article about dogs trained to sniff out cancer. When my grandfather died of prostate cancer last spring, the hospice nurse said cancer patients often have a certain odor about them. Apparently she was right. Maybe there's a future for Wahoo.
