http://thepowerelite.blogspot.com/2015/07/push-back-pell-grants-and-puppies.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Push Back, Pell Grants and Puppies. Push to Scale Back Minimum Sentences Gains Momentum:.

Regardless of the debate—which shows no signs of easing as we head into the 2016 elections—I think technology will change the entire conversation in the next 10 to 20 years, rendering many of the most potent issues obsolete.
