Deepak Tripathi: Western societies have suffered a major socioeconomic and moral collapse. The recent street violence in England's cities is the latest, most disturbing expression of individual selfishness and anger causing the rot. * Panama's Response on Behalf of Vietnamese Agent Orange Victims <http://www.laprogressive.com/?p=57805> . James Rhodes: Washington continues to recruit young men and women under the mantra "we support our troops." That may be true, but America does not support its VETERANS! * LAUSD and Green Dot Should Talk <http://www.laprogressive.com/?p=57809> . Leonard Isenberg: If children continue to suffer from poor nutrition, no early exposure to rich imagery, experience, and language, then they arrive at kindergarten already squarely behind the eight ball without millions of words that they have never heard. * Latino Leaders Defend DHS's Announcement to Focus on High Priority Immigration Cases <http://www.laprogressive.com/?p=57792> . Seth Hoy: Anti-immigrant restrictionists will continue to drive a wedge between Latino voters and the Republican party by hurling racially charged sentimentslike today's accusation that President Obama is waging a war on "white America"in hopes of stirring up their own base. * Payback Time <http://www.laprogressive.com/?p=57734> . Rodolfo F. Acuña: One of the first political lessons that I remember was Benito Juárez's famous saying, "entre los individuos, como entre las naciones, el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz," "among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace." * Philly's Mayor's Message to the Youth? Yeah, Right. <http://www.laprogressive.com/?p=57737> . Jasmyne A. Cannick: It was another case of yet another Black leader passionately voicing the frustration of his generation with younger generations of Blacks by preaching to the choir. * Ashford, Leiber: Soundtrack of Multiracial America. <http://hollywoodprogressive.com/?p=3121> Mark Naison: I think it's important to understand that they were figures who, in their own way, helped redefine race in United States by creating a sonic universe in which people of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds could find joy and meaning.
