 Phyllis Meshulam and others will hold a debate on the validity of common arguments for and against further gun control laws, followed by discussion. We all need to be able to discuss this matter with acquaintances and neighbors who currently look at it from an NRA perspective, so that we understand better where they are coming from and common ground may be found to back progress on this issue.

Though using the gender-biased terminology of 1624, John Donne's Meditation 17 seems to me as if it could have been written in the first hour after Monday's carnage in Boston:

 

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to

Economist and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich gave a standing-room-only audience Monday in Santa Rosa a crash course in how the nation's economy went sour.
