  Add Seattle to that list. In my opinion a big source of trouble is the way we deal with drugs and mental illness. Too many alcoholics and addicts refuse to go into housing facilities where they can't use. I work in a 28 day recovery center and I hear this frequently. And the courts have decided that if people don't want to go into a shelter they don't have to, even if they don't have enough functioning brain cells to make a good decision. These factors are to often ignored when discussing the problem.

  The US has an extradition treaty with the Cayman islands. It won't be that great a place for them to run to. Escaping to a foreign country AND keeping whatever money you took is a lot more complicated than most people think.

  Flipper, its obvious that the Democrats will keep throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks. That is NOT how our jucidical system is supposed to work. Whatever happened to the presumption of innocense?

  youths in school have meltdowns anytime someone “offends” them.

  grownups at a dinner table flip out on each other over politics.

  drivers are ready to smash each other up if someone disrespects them on the road.

  I've been reading articles that boil down to something like the OP for decades. Most of them blame somebody the author doesn't like for the problem.

  Instead we all need to ask ourselves if we are part of the problem or part of the solution.

  I converted in 1973, at age 22. I was caught up in the 1975 business. I became discontent over the years as nothing ever happened. In the spring of 1988 there was a talk about the evils of higher education, and how unnecessary it was since the new system was so close. My children were entering their teenage years, and wanted them educated. I started a major research project, and was on the road out.

  The first thing you need to do is decide if you want a big refund of your own money back, or do you want to take it home and spend it now. Which is more useful to you? With a modicum of planning and restraint you can put the money in the bank and collect interest on it. This will give you more money next year if you just hang on to it. Remember, the government is happy to take your money now and give it back to you later with no interest.

  We need to make basic financial management a required course for high school graduation. Also a simpler tax code.

  I currently live just outside Woodinville. I've been out since 1988, but when I was a JW I was in the Pullman, Spokane Valley and Bellevue congregations.
