[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 118603, member: 4391"] Headlines in my city almost always have to do with taxes, the real estate market, or the water shortage. I think this is because there is so much violence here that it doesn't MAKE the headlines, anymore. For instance, we learned on the local news that a woman had been kidnapped from her home. The man who did it has been apprehended but, the last I heard, the woman herself has not been found. That's one. Another is that there are a group of people here who will stand trial for slavery. Apparently, they have been smuggling people across the border and then, chaining them up unless they are working the fields. They fed them twice a day and worked them six days a week. The rationale behind it is that the persons need to pay off the costs of having been smuggled across the border. But none of that made the headlines. Very, very different from our papers and newscasts at home. Barbara [/QUOTE]
