This is just the problem. Bans on dog meat tell the public not that dog meat is unsafe, but that dog-eaters are—beyond being distasteful to the mainstream??so morally degrading to society as to be worthy of explicit legislation prohibiting their unsavory habits. Worse, such laws discriminate—in effect if not intent—against ethnic groups that traditionally eat dog meat—namely, some East and Southeast Asian cultures. Dog is considered a delicacy in many Asian countries; unfortunately for new immigrants to the Land of the Free, here...
...white boys from radio station WHRB understood hip-hop culture so well that they managed to create the longest-running and arguably most influential magazine about the genre and its artists.

San Francisco Film Festival’s opening night on October 23, 1969. A group called Grand Central Station arrived in a white van full of pies and hurled them at the star-studded crowd. Afterwards, a mime mockingly swept a broom just above the trail...
