Editor's Memo: Where have All the 'Good People' Gone?

WORLD WATCH

Today’s CityWatch—Just when you think there are no ‘good people’ left on the planet and that no one gives a damn about anyone else any more … along comes Judge Lou Oliver. He oversees the Veteran’s Court in North Carolina. And, he did something that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are real live people … good people … in our midst that do understand and do care. It’s a must read. It will restore your faith. It’s in Today’s CityWatch. Also...

 

Nostalgia is the theme in the Editor’s Picks section of CityWatch today. After upsetting everyone about GMOs last week, Bob Gelfand takes a softer turn and happens onto some real American Pie and the red white and blue over at Warren Furutani’s campaign headquarters. 

Founder of Zocalo Public Square, Gregory Rodriguez alerts us to the combustibility of nostalgia and politics …and, Joel Kotkin reports that coastal California is aging and graying … and the tough part of this read is that a number of us can connect to the concept. Grab some courage. Take a step back. Revisit that time when the village seemed jammed with caring and ‘good people.’ 

All … and more … in Today’s CityWatch. Let us know what you think.
