The most important thing about a person is not their gender, race, age or ethnicity. It is how they think, what they believe and how that drives their actions — what King called “the content of their character.” Today, those of us who were disappointed by the November Election have the opportunity to demonstrate the [...]

For most of history, transitions of power were settled with violence – retail, with an assassin’s blade, or wholesale through war. It still happens too often, in too many places.

During the last five years, more than 17,000 people in Ohio have reported their food stamp benefit cards lost or stolen at least 10 times. Here’s a virtual certainty: many of those cards weren’t lost or stolen – they were sold, illegally. Here’s another certainty: the scam means there are kids going to bed hungry. [...]
