2008

Things change yet stay the same. Or worsen. 

I wrote this the first month of my first year of blogging, August 2008. I remember this. It was horrendous what was done to this young woman. She had/has serious mental illness and to do this to anyone, much-less one so vulnerable is unforgivable. The anonymous writer scalded her. If you are going after someone on a public forum at least use your name. 

The reason I reposted it is, look at where we are now. The bile that is spewed daily, the loss of decorum, of basic manners and decency is overwhelming. The vilifying of large groups of people, the murdering of people in the streets. The fact that the government is now trying to deport a five-year-old. And about 40% of our population condones this. It's shameful.

Off my soapbox now. I'm in a mood.
