Just like all zodiac signs have their sweet and toxic personality traits, certain signs have criminal tendencies. Some signs are known for their passion and unpredictable nature, while others are known for their intense emotions, aggression, and unforgiveness. Such traits could transform into criminality or influence individuals to commit one crime or the other.

I recently ran across an article in the Japan Times that reported homelessness in that country is at record lows. The article, published last month, said there only are 2,800 homeless people in all of Japan. That’s the smallest amount of homeless people since Japan started recording the data in 2003, according to the article. Denver has at least three times that many homeless people.

“Go home,” posts reader after reader. The comment streams of my articles about the migrants have a common refrain: “You’re not welcome here.” And much, much worse. I’ve had to shut down the comments on some of my articles due to downright hostile remarks. It occurred to me, however, that the migrants probably aren’t reading American news, which is published in English. Immigrant rights and housing advocate Amy Beck confirmed my suspicions. “No, I don't think they're aware because the majority don't speak English and don't follow local Denver news,” Beck said in an email. ”It's also not something I've ever mentioned to them. It's not important to me to point out haters. I'm usually talking with them about services and their rights. Also just helping them along their path. I've never discussed haters with them unless haters physically show up in a camp and we have to deal with them firsthand.”

Opinion: Anti-migrant comments, not limited to Denver, fall upon deaf ears

The brilliance and importance of John Patrick Stanley’s Doubt, wonderfully performed at Altarena Playhouse , is that it addresses the immensely horrible abuse of children by Catholic priests in the United States and around the world by focusing on just one child, a student at one school, who may or may not have been harmed by one priest.
