Todd's Must Reads of the Day

1-Is Everyone a Little Bit Racist? Nicholas Krisof speaks an often unspoken truth. How many of us (white people) have black friends? How many of us ignore a young black male asking us for directions, while not hesitating at all to offer help to a white male of the same age? http://alturl.com/ubwqe

2-Plugged in Over Preppy. Over the past year, I've become absolutely convinced that smart phones are hurting us in so many ways. We don't communicate directly; we don't see what's around us; and, as this article in today's NYT says, we don't even care about what clothes we wear anymore, at least teens don't. For them, I-phones and the myriad accoutrements that are available with them are now more important to teens than tight jeans.http://alturl.com/vgrio

3-A 9-Year Old at a Shooting Range. No Words. http://alturl.com/5kztu
