That Area Between Black and White
(I found that awesome photo when I was looking for a stock photo of children’s hands – it’s credited to Huffington Post) Hate is taught. I’m not saying hate hasn’t always been around, but I am saying we teach it to those around us, to our children. Sometimes we don’t mean to. A comment in …
I first posted about this shooting on 24 February (Us And Them). Since I am not the president I have the luxury of time to think about things before I speak out, but what I don’t have is a staff to remind me what my job is when something terrible like this happens. 45 has …

We’re hearing from 45’s voters how they regret their vote now. They didn’t literally …
In the past, this holiday has always been a casual glance back at presidents before. For me it’s especially about Lincoln as I have some admiration for his work. When I worked at the bank, it was also a cool holiday, an opportunity to catch up on work or on house work, whichever needed to be …
It’s been fifty years since this date in 1967. Wow. Fifty years.
