Don't worry, the people that you are worried about are trapped in a media bubble that is warning them that their right to single use plastic is going to be taken away because of people in China that litter. I think that projects like t

What if you were accused of a child's murder that you didn't commit? Perhaps it was particularly horrific and the police really want to catch the killer quickly to look good in the media. Your DNA matches the DNA the weapon, but
