A recent string of mass shootings in the United States have once again proved that the country, always proclaiming itself a defender of human rights, is indeed a hypocrite, as deadly gun violence rate keeps ballooning while gun proliferation remains rampant.
U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday depicted gun violence in the country as an epidemic and an international embarrassment, highlighting a chronic human rights crisis that has reached epidemic proportions and long blighted the United States.

Wasting away in foodville
With all respect to the article “Can Edco get San Diego to cut food waste in half?” (Cover Stories, March 24) I believe that food waste should not be allowed. The reason I say this is because this food can be used to help the homeless. In different cities we can find a homeless person who does not have enough money to purchase food. Homeless people struggle to have a meal and by donating unused foods to them it can be a big support. A high amount of food is being thrown away.
