from Sunday's (5/18/008) SLATE: >A strange new economic indicator emerges on the front page of the NY [TIMES]: the number of calls to crime tip hotlines. These hotlines typically offer cash rewards for tips leading to arrests, and so some communities have found the phones are ringing off the hook, as hard times press more and more people into turning in friends and neighbors. One source quips that in some places squealing two or three times a week would pay better than a minimum-wage job.<

(Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
