What’s In A Name? Everything!

Why is it so important to get someone’s name right?

Posted by Harold Fisher

We all heard it on January 20th when Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn it.  Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor got it wrong. It’s pronounced Comma-la, not Camela.  The Vice President has said publically that she’s used to people mispronouncing her name and she’s gone to great lengths to help us get it right.  But getting the names of people of color right… doesn’t always matter to some people.   Why is it so important?

Oregon Has Officially Decriminalized All Illegal Drugs

Posted by @Robinrazzi
Posted on
Oregon’s new law decriminalizing all illegal drugs went into effect on Monday.
Under the new rules, possession of small amounts of illegal substances will be subject to a $100 fine – which can be waived if they accept certain treatment options.
Even drugs like heroin or methamphetamine are decriminalized under the law, which passed back in November. Experts expect drug convictions in the state to drop by more than 90%.
What are your thoughts on decriminalizing drugs like heroin? Will this experiment last? Will it spread to other states?
