Ohmygod. For the love of all things holy and unholy, read
this story RIGHT NOW.
Part 1. Part 2. Why? 1. It's extremely well-written and well-edited; 2. If you live(d) in the southwestern part of the United States this is somewhat relevant to your life; 3. I haven't been impressed by a story like this in a long time, and I know I recommend articles all the time, but really, you can't miss this one. I know it's long, but really, it's just something you can't miss out on. Given the events that have unfolded at the LAT recently, I think it is a tribute that this article was able to be published. Honestly, I'm rendered speechless, and all I can say is READ THIS NOW. That should mean something.
