Reason: Racism, gun violence on decline

As a result of the Trayvon Martin shooting, the topic of racism has, unfortunately, been given new life in American politics and culture. As the shooting became a prominent fixture in the news, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and even President Barack Obama jumped into the fray by making statements that pinned the incident as racially motivated. Others have used it to attack the Second Amendment and gun owners.

But in a video at Reason, Kennedy, a former MTV personality, is setting the record straight, noting that race relations are better, according to poll data, and incidents involving gun violence are actually on the decline:

I have had tinnitus (like a roaring or hissing sound usually) for a couple of years or more. Normally is was on both side, with ocassional pain in the ears as well. Now on and off since my sinus infection and anti-boitics a couple months ago, it seems to be mostly in my right ear. There are some pains in that ear as well. I have gerd which I read can affect the ears, and the ent said I have a very “twisted” spetum on the right (the same side as the pain). You couldn’t tell from looking at me that i’m “twisted” in the nose :-)…. Has anyone experienced any of this, or know if the other conditions I have can effect ear “pain” and increasing tinnitus on one side? I do have another appt. Next week, but I wanted to know of others with similiar “ear expriences.”.
