Opinion
Another Baltimore Injustice
The officers in the Freddie Gray case are receiving preferential treatment in court.
"The
irony is that a lack of fairness in the criminal justice system is part
of what Baltimore’s unrest is about. All cases affect our community,
not just those featured on CNN. Either we should treat everyone like the
officers (justly) or treat the officers like everyone else (unjustly).
Everyone
should be afforded the same protections offered to the Freddie Gray
officers. All cases should proceed like theirs. But they don’t." 2

Homes for Sale in Brooklyn and Manhattan
This week’s properties are in the East Village; in Greenwich Village; and in Park Slope Brooklyn.Long ago these would have been a dream.
I would rather not be in the city.

Taking a Different Tack on Mental Illness
Health professionals and advocates stress early treatment and family involvement.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/17/opinion/how-to-help-save-the-mentally-ill-from-themselves.html
We cannot save the mentally ill from themselves.
To save them from themselves they would have to be cured of their illness.
We can treat symptoms.
We can educate.
We can support.
We can restrain.
We cannot cure.

Opinion
The Questionable Accounting Behind the World’s Carbon Budget
Questionable accounting and dubious expectations about technology underpin the carbon budget that would keep global warming in check.The politicians do not understand that the "carbon budget" is already exceeded.
The temperature will rise more than two degrees C.
Remediation is fiction.
Things will not change much in any year.

At Least 15 Die in Texas and Kansas as Winter Storms Pummel Plains
This week should provide some respite for the southern Plains, weather officials say, but heavy snow is forecast for the more northern parts of the region.Higher temperatures put more water in the air.
It falls out when it gets cooler.

Opinion
The New Atomic Age We Need
If we are serious about replacing fossil fuels, we are going to need nuclear power.Both the Republicans and the Democrats fear nuclear power.
The argument presented by Peter Thiel is false.
His point that we need fission power is good.
We do need it.
Fear is blocking further development.

The Giants (5-6), the Redskins (5-6), the Eagles (4-7) and the Cowboys (3-8) have done little to distinguish themselves in the N.F.L. this season.Football is nearly random.
