I have always been a strong proponent of education. I believe
that education can solve (or at least go a long way toward
solving) a lot of societal problems like teen pregnancy,
sexually transmitted diseases, crime and poverty. A high
school education would have also saved this overly entrepre-
neurial man.

The body of a man has been found on Detroit's east side, and
police said they believe he died in the midst of trying to
steal valuable metal.

Police said the man appears to have been trying to steal
copper from a power line when he was electrocuted and fell
to the ground. Police said they're not sure when the man
died but that a neighborhood businessman reported the body
Monday afternoon.

Now compare that with the story of an injured dog in New
Mexico who went to a hospital for treatment.

When the automatic doors at San Juan Regional Medical
Center's emergency room slid open Saturday night, the pooch
walked in, blood on his nose and paw, and a puncture hole
in one leg.

Animal control officer Robin Loev responded to a call from
the hospital and suspects the puncture wound was from the
bite of another dog.

Loev says the German shepherd mix appeared to be intelligent
and calm — and knew enough to go to the right place.

And he probably knows not to chew on power lines, too.
