I am so grateful people still want to be firemen and policemen in this day and age. I see the news and am forever amazed at the jobs they do day in and day out.

Baltimore is ravaged with drugs. Our city would be a much safer place if we could end the war on drugs. I believe alcohol and drugs are at the root of most crime.

On a good note: I heard Baltimore now has a courthouse for women to flee to when they are in an abusive situation. The House of Ruth (a local shelter and advocacy program) has an office right in the courthouse. The idea is that everything they need is under one roof.

New York is the only other state that has such a set-up.
