The world of extremes continues

Observation:  I’m waiting for a flight our of south Florida, and catching up on the week’s news.  In a single edition of the New York Times this week there is a story about the surging stock market  (the haves), and another story about the increase number of families who are taking advantage of free meals from their local school systems.   (Click here for the story on stocks, and click here for the story on schools.)

Implications:   The dumb bell theory continues.  (See the Elm Street Trends posting from November 16.)
