Megan can’t explain why DC has so much crime, while Vietnam doesn’t, despite much deeper poverty.
Don’t ask me how I ended up at Courtney Love’s blog last night. It was the result of a strange google search followed by some random clicks. OK. OK. I admit it. I’m a big Hole fan. Yeah. Check out the depravity at Love’s blog. Is this woman allowed to drive a car and tend to her daughter?
E-books sound awful, mostly because they are heavy and big. Books must fit into a bag for quick reading on the subway. Even if you no longer ride the subway.
Great Thanksgiving links at Raising WEG.
I like Foreign Policy’s reasons to be thankful.

I’d really like to *know* that Vietnam has lower crime rates than DC, before asking why.

True. However, a professor friend had a story of being on public transportation in China when a pickpocket was caught. Everybody jumped in and started beating the tar out of the pickpocket. If Vietnam has a similar vigilante culture, it wouldn’t be at all surprising if there weren’t much petty crime.
