		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t posted about the Trayvon Martin tragedy because, really, what could I say that hasn&#8217;t already been said? In my opinion, whatever happened between George Zimmerman and Trayvon immediately before Zimmerman shot him&#8211;whether there was an altercation or not&#8211; is legally and morally irrelevant to the question of guilt; when Zimmerman intentionally ignored the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the Ice Age, when I was still Republican, the GOP used to be a party of grown-ups. It is painful to watch what has become of the Grand Old Party&#8211;and even more painful to see what it&#8217;s doing to the country. Neil Pierce&#8217;s current column is yet another example.  As he reports, &#8220;There’s [...]]]></description>

His post this morning responds to this morning&#8217;s headline trumpeting a &#8216;drug bust&#8217; and expands upon my post drawing parallels to prohibition. Accordingly, I am, as they say in Congress, yielding my [...]]]></description>

The fiscal consequences of our current policies are staggering.

And then, of course, there are the perennial complaints about taxes. Everyone, it seems, wants government to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my historic neighborhood, we are having a vigorous debate about the wisdom/propriety of paying monthly &#8220;dues&#8221; to hire off-duty police officers to conduct extra patrols. The concern is that the Indianapolis police force is stretched thin, and despite Mayor Ballard&#8217;s emphasis on public safety, not much has changed, and certainly not for the better. I understand the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent dismissals of all charges brought against the Duke lacrosse players—accompanied by condemnations of the prosecutor who originally brought the charges—reminded me of something said in 1940 by Supreme Court Justice Robert H.

		<description><![CDATA[Crime has become a high-decibel subject of conversation in Indianapolis. From the persistent challenges posed by jail overcrowding, the recent sharp increase in homicides, and the hotly debated merger of the Indianapolis Police and&#160; Sheriff’s Departments, crime prevention has become the topic of the day. And it sometimes seems as if everyone has figured out [...]]]></description>
