A couple months ago, I thought Black Lives Matter was an organization that advocated for Black Lives. I went to one of the earliest protests, listened to local black preachers give inspiring speeches on striving to reach your potential and using any white privilege you have to expand compassion and tolerance. But then after that day, which later broke out into violence, I started investigating and tracking one murder after another, actually *caused* by rioting and looting, in the name of police brutality. Actual black deaths caused by rioting and looting, in the name of Black Lives Matter, meanwhile where is Black Lives Matter? Is this a real organization? Why do members of BLM not publicly speak out against Antifa, or whoever is causing arsons, rioting and looting at BLM events. I patently object to these forms or protest and do not understand why BLM has not spoken out against this violence.
NRA must be super-excited…

It was the spring of '68 when I was born. There were visible stars in the sky that night, or so I'm told... Some days, I ride my bicycle to the farmer's market, hang my clothes to dry, and sketch or play my guitar into the evening... Other days, I stay indoors, drink too much coffee, eat canned soup, and critique endless reruns of "Law and Order." (It's fun to wonder how all the suspects have such perfect memories as to their whereabouts, or why the longshoreman isn't curious enough to get out of the forklift when confronted by homicide detectives). Do you have friends? (I have come to be leery of dating anyone who has no friends. These people always seem to have some far-fetched conspiracy theory or weird aversion to sunlight...) Bonus points to those who... appreciate a good pun or will give a gratuitous chuckle:) can find humor in not only the absurd, but esp in the mundane :) View more posts
