Freddie Gray and the Meaning of Justice
For some it is intimate; for others expansive. It can be defined only relative to your stake in it.Axiomatically there is one justice for all.
The broadest justice must be the true justice.

Scarred Riverbeds and Dead Pistachio Trees in a Parched Iran
Iran is in the grip of a seven-year drought that many experts believe is the new normal, and even a return to past rainfall levels might not be enough to prevent a national crisis.The revolutionary government said; as god wills.
It may be time to replace the revolutionary government.
Ground water is also finite.
Russian cotton is partly responsible for the drought.

With all the documentation required of nurses and doctors, it’s too easy for the patients themselves to get lost.Give the medical people recording secretaries.
It would be a minimum wage job that would double medical time on task.
