Op-ed submission by Project 21 There were reports of babies out in the cold for hours in Houston. In Indianapolis, two dozen police officers used pepper spray to control an unruly crowd that pried shopping center doors off their hinges.

Op-ed submission by Project 21  Stories of redemption are common. Drug addicts kick their habits to rejoin civil society; corrupt investors become charitable.
