Has anyone in Los Angeles county received their property tax bills yet?

You would cut your current tax deductions, but owe a 'boat load' at the end of the year. And you better have the money to pay, or the IRS is likely to come after you. They are the most ruthless agency of the US government.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
