Hey Peter, nice reading your list. Here's a link to mine. http://bpace9583.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the fun diversity of issues you found brought up in the articles you chose. There's definitely some opportunity for improvement upon some of those concepts, especially gun registrations and possible new methods of cosmetic surgery to correct deformities caused by former obesity, such as the double chin acid treatment. Could have provided another sentence or two of depth on your analyses, but I like your source and your use of the library database.
