Overheard at Starbucks
"In America...in the world?...your income determines if your more concerned with disease than crime."
-"In America...if you're lucky."
"In a few neighborhoods and towns drunkenness, domestic abuse, drug addiction and child abuse are 'diseases'."
-"In most parts of the city those things are crimes."
--"Jailable offenses."
"In most of the world those aren't crimes or diseases."
