The Ghost Ship fire was one of a series of horrible stories to come out at the end of last year (remember what a bummer 2016 was at the end?). If you don't live in California, however, you might not have heard about it. The other two stories about displacement that are on the front page today--namely, folks losing their jobs as collateral damage of the seemingly endless series of sex scandals being unearthed in Hollywood, and Afghan families fleeing their homes and trying not to get killed by U.S. airstrikes---you probably have heard about. In fact, 2017 has been a year of displacement. The year began with reason, ethics, and good taste being tossed out of the white house that they occupied for the previous 8 years. They're still out there somewhere, I suppose, warming their hands over a barrel fire. Let's hope one day we can find them and bring them home.
