Headlines on Just One Day

The newspaper really does make fascinating reading.  I've finally gotten around to doing this year what I intended to do in previous years:  clipped out particularly interesting or "telling" articles and taped them into my huge tablet.

Here are some from March 8, 2017--yesterday:

"Violent ararchists might be the greater of evils at protests" by Otis R. Taylor Jr.  (They couldn't be doing more harm for our cause if they were planted.  Are they?)

"Children suffering 'toxic stress,' study says"  Children in Syria are attempting self-harm and suicide in response to prolonged explsure to war--developing speech disorders and incontience.  Some are even losing the capaciy to speak.  This is a report from Save the Children.

And editorial "End the California sand rush" made me aware that Cemex removes sand to sell it to those in construction landscaping, and industyr--40[pound bas sold at Home Depot.    How's this for a quote:  "The U.s. geological Survey reported in 2006 that the region's beaches were disappearing faster than any others in California 'due to the artifically high erosion in the southern portion of the Monterye Bay caused by llng-term sand mining operations.'"

"Fewer heavy Americans are trying to lose weight.;"

"Across the region, nearly a third of those surveyed had paid a bribe to a police officer in the previous year, while 22 percent had made such payments for schooling, and 18 percent paid them to access a public hospital.  Berlin-based Transparency International said it conducted the survey of randomly selected people between July 2015 and January 2017."

 "Hacking by CIA alleged/WikiLeaks releases data purportedly showing how spy agency accesses phones, TVs"

"Health Care plan runs into trouble/Consevatives ridicule bill as 'Obamacare 2.0'"  This is also referred to as "Obama-care Lite,""Ryancare," and "RINO-care."  Two people who have spoken out on this are Ro Khanna, D-Fremont, who says "Weshould have gone for Medicare-for-all...I would go so far as to say any Democrat who doesn't embrace the vision of Madicare-for-all and single payer should not be the nominee of our party."  (More on this later!)

"Honor-killings claim by Trump exploits fear, observers say" by Hamed Aleaziz.

Guantanamo Ba:  "PResident Trump blames Obama for prisoners released by Bush.
