I am glad it isn't closed. It is good to be able to talk about feelings. We are all caught in swirling streams of hatred and I am upset about all of the verbiage foisted upon us from a lot of folks who appear to think they are superior. I just cannot tell you how I dislike all these edicts about politically correct this or that. I also am so angry and hurt by people who say terribly cutting things I think are unjustified and couch them in a sort of superior racist attitude. No one chooses their race. I think race affected some areas of this country far more than other areas and a good many of us moved here and hear a lot of things we have never experienced personally and frankly we are baffled. All of these intense things. All of these announcements on TV make a lot of people wonder what it is that they did or didn't do. How they are sinning and doing the wrong things that make others glare and say YUP.

However, in your face screaming profanities and threatening others is not protected speech. Protesters need to tone down their rhetoric and their actions.

I would NOT leave my front yard to participate in either one of those group protests. I would rather watch some good paint dry.

I said the same thing up thread.

I know. I read it but I figured some people might have overlooked it. Given that I thought is was so good I plagiarized it. Either that or "brilliant minds, etc."
