If
you're black, white, asian, arabic or whatever I have some advice that will
serve you well. Don't be an asshole! Looters and arsonists are assholes.
Unfortunately these people overshadow the regular Americans who feel slighted,
right or wrong, who want to bring attention to a potential problem. So now I
have to endure the endless stories or articles backing up particular
individual's contention that all members of a group are the same.
Generalizations are the tool of lazy thinkers who are mired in their own
obtuseness. At least have the courage to admit to others or even yourself that
you don't care too much for an ethnic group as a whole. I know that anyway, but
I don't give a shit, you're the one who has to reconcile that with your
conscience or your god. So instead of playing passive aggressive head games,
hinting at who you really are, try evolving and join the enlightened.
"We all long for Eden, and we are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature...is still soaked with the sense of exile." JRR Tolkien

Thank You
The term
homeless veteran should not exist. They go off and do our country’s dirty work
come home get called a hero by people who don’t know the meaning of the word.
Praised and thanked then ignored. Then we enact laws in a number of cities to
make homelessness illegal where even feeding them is a crime. Talk about kicking
people when they’re down. Even with the epidemic of veteran suicides we do
nothing. Then we have holidays to honor them falsely so we can sleep at night.
Yes, we should honor and thank them, but we as a people can do better than
half-hearted salutes. Don’t mean to be a downer but I’ve developed a strong
addiction to the truth these days.
