Yesterday a friend said, [...]

I don’t understand the furor over Little Saigon. If people in the area want to call it that, I’m fine with it. I don’t need to vote it in our out (and I think a vote might stir up a ton of racial tension, but maybe I’m wrong), but certain no one needs to starve [...]
