Thank you for your words. As a black man living in a smaller city/rural America, I find it easy to witness how changes in the national political scene are reflected in the day-to-day realities of the social climate, often for the positive, but not lately. The surge in ammo sales, the talk I hear about preparing to take the government back, it's not just television talk. All responsible people in government, and especially us as everyday people, need to stand up against the craziness that the media is aiding and abetting. It's no joke, everyone - it's a dangerous time, and we need to get back to where we can at least talk across the aisles about solutions to our problems. I lived through some of the rounds of school integration in the 70s, and it's starting to seem like that again around where I am. We surely don't want to backslide any further.

I'm with you - thanks again!
