MY TURN: Political 'clickbait'
In a genuine effort to maintain a balanced political understanding and to keep my vision from becoming myopic, I made some time to peruse the most recent and unsolicited volume 2, Issue 14 of The People's Pen that I found in my mailbox.

He was asked, “… how real from the perspective of the actual law enforcement response and investigation are such hate crimes?” referring to racial denigration in our community. His response, “… from a statistical standpoint; we just don't see a lot of hate-related criminal activity. We just don't see it.” I am guessing then, statistically, there must be far more library book classification violations to deal with than hate crimes. I wonder, at what statistical benchmark will hate crimes draw more attention from him?
