Love the photo of police officers Reeves and Henderson playing basketball with the children! Those are definitely world-changing, peace promoting officers! Please keep us the great work!

Nation of whiners

America’s new National Anthem should be “Cry Baby,” an old 1960s song, because that’s all we do … cry.

A better brand

"What progress has preserved" has always sounded so phony, I'm glad they're retiring it. Something more inviting would be "The world's largest small town." We're the best of both.
