Two Steps Forward, One Step Back
Since college, I've had an abiding interest in the Troubles in Northern Ireland. I once thought that if a lasting peace could take root there, it could serve as a model for other troubled regions of the world. However, the latest election results from Northern Ireland don't give me much hope.
This story about a woman getting trampled at a Wal-Mart affirms my own plans to do all of my holiday shopping on the Web. Navigating a mall full of crazed shoppers and surly teenagers does not instill in me a sense of holiday cheer. I do enjoy clipping the occasional ankle with my wheelchair, but that gets tiresome after the third or fourth victim.
