Odd thoughts

Two things we should have a "war" on:

Ignorance

The UN should create a high priority program, with lots of funding from the richer countries of the world, to end illiteracy. I heard that Pakistanis rely on TV for their information because they cannot read. The content there is strictly monitored. There are channels here in the US that are entertainment passing as news (e.g. Fox News). To insure everyone on the globe has access to the truth, lets teach them to read.

Injustice

Every month or so I see stories about some guy having spent decades in prison for a crime he did not commit. Congress should pass a law, with funding, that reviews every conviction of every major crime... including DNA testing. Now this is being done on a volunteer basis. Why aren't we making this an automatic, government sponsored, process?
