With government often more the problem than the solution, communities are taking matters into their own hands. But gains against crime can carry a cost.Mexico needs a revolution.
At the moment there is no single nucleus.
Anarchy is not stable.

Opinion
At the Golden Globes, Hollywood Does What Washington Won’t
There’s meaningless make-believe in the capital of politics, but there’s meaningful politics in the capital of make-believe.Good. The effort must continue.
The presumptions that lead toward slavery must end.

The Golden Globes Get (Halfway) Woke
There was consensus from the stage and dissonance on the red carpet in a broadcast that was half party, half protest.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Foreign_Press_Association
The organizers want a party.
The awarded wanted a pulpit.
The show was rewarding.

It requires thought.
