If we're going to have an honours system that is open to the whole community - in which we thank people, collectively, for service to the public - we can't keep demanding that they pass a loyalty test to a bygone empire.

yeremi colino, a teenager stabbed to death in NYC last night by a group of men after he told them he didn’t speak english, deserves as much attention as the healthcare CEO, if not more. let’s give it to him. www.amny.com/new-york/man...
