Rejecting 31,000 gun deaths as a fact of life

Once a week for the last several years, I've driven to skid row to visit a friend. I get depressed about the area at times because it's such a depository of the unfortunate and the forgotten. But then I'll catch a warm greeting, or see a sign of hope in...Tags: Bipolar Disorder, Social Issues, Mental Illness, Addiction, The Soloist (movie)
