Good writing takes place at intersections, at what you might call knots, at places where the society is snarled or knotted up.
The challenge of social justice is to evoke a sense of community that we need to make our nation a better place, just as we make it a safer place.
Puppet Papademos is in place, and as Athens caught fire on Sunday night he rather took my breath away - he said violence and destruction have no place in a democratic country.
