Human Trafficking To Blame For Surge Of Children At U.S. Border, Says Bishop

Stephen Dubner, one-half of the Freakonomics team, knows that tackling big issues can big problems, and that’s often why big issues (think: poverty) don’t get solved. Dubner’s thought? Think small. Don’t try to solve everything; solve one thing. It’s much plicated, you’ll have easier access to the data that you’ll need. Most importantly, you will preserve one of your most precious resources: optimism. He gives details in the following short video. ...

Why It’s Time to Defend the Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Before I try to convince you that Katha Pollitt is dangerously wrong, let me attempt to explain why her opinion is significant. Pollitt was educated at Harvard and the Columbia School of the Arts and has taught at Princeton. She has won a National Magazine Award for Columns and Commentary, an NEA grant, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a National Book Critics Circle Award.
