Two Articles

This morning a friend sent me this article. It seems that Marvin, North Carolina, voted not to allow a certain subdivision to be incorporated into their town because the homes only cost $300,000 to $400,000. Letting in this area would be introducing "a certain element," they felt.

A few weeks ago, another friend sent me this article. It's about how people fight hunger by eating cookies made out of clay.

How can these two situations exist on the same planet?

Troy tells me that the reason these sorts of things mess with me (and you and others like us) is that we have such a strong sense of justice -- or as Troy calls it, "An overdeveloped sense of justice" ---- this is the crap that nags and messes with us --- because it is so very, very wrong and UNJUST. Sigh.
