My uncle read the murder rate in Chicago has been dropping for years and congratulated my cousin, who is a cop on one of the worst beats in the city. He said, "You boys are doing a really good job."

"No," my cousin said. "These kids are shooting at each other more than ever. But, ER doctors keep getting better and better at putting them back on the streets.

"Sometimes we wish they would stop doing that."


And thus the fluff invades...


I read this entire article, and thought it was fascinating.

Fluff or not, at least it's quality.


Beware of creeping fluff(ism).

Regardless, "fluff/cruft" has a circular tendency to attract users who register and post most of the stuff.


...the comment section.
