Sep 2014

listening to NPR's morning edition. The article was a glowing report on St Louis Law Enforcement and their success with the mentally ill.

Last night I tried to comment on NPR's web site about the report but was unable to register because I don't have a social media account. I submitted my lengthy thoughts to the Morning Edition commentary e-mail and a few other contact us forms. I'm sure it will never go anywhere.

Onion? Not sure. Critical Thinking Award Winning Journalism? Not!!
