How about a different perspective. How about people feeling that the whole elective process is irrelevant? With everyone being bombarded with constant television hype, commercials promoting continuous fear to make money and do nothing circus clowns coming out of Washington and Sacramento, who cares about a local election? It probably won't make any difference anyhow.
P.S. I voted early

On Low Voter Turnout Cause for Concern

This woman is not a criminal from a psychological perspective. She is ill and needs emotional and mental help. Prison will only make whatever is bothering her worse.

Nick,
Far be it for me to question any of your incredible concepts, but how could yogurt possibly come from Korea town? I know from personal experience and being there that Koreans don't like or eat milk products; some even find it disgusting; especially cheese! What a bizarre notion. Have we corrupted every civilization on the planet?
And women, who I happen to be one, are belittled, humiliated and harassed without mercy by MEN, the news media and the fashion industry about how women look every minute from birth whether they ask for it or not all because THEY are the ones making money and judgments from their own needs.

People in this part of the country appear to be fanatical about particles coming from flowers and trees, working themselves into a frenzy over this natural process of life which they call dirt. There's all this fussing over controlling nature and all the instrumentation that goes with it.
In the fall one can rake the numerous leaves that are a fire hazard and use them for mulch and cutting large tree limbs that may become a hazard. The rest of the time and energy that's wasted by both man and all their noisy machinery by cutting and blowing and trimming could be put to a much more practical use for humanity.

Right on, Nick!

On Clawing, Chawing, Gnawing, and Pawing

The key to the problems of gangs is parenting, education, culture, the need to belong and the environment. All have to be approached in order to resolve the need of children to feel as if their life has some meaning.
This is not, necessarily, an easy task and blaming people just makes it worse.
I wrote a grant years ago about juvenile behavior in Santa Barbara and how to begin a resolution and it was turned down as unnecessary by many different agencies.
So don't blame the police or City Hall for everything.
