Thank you for not mincing words. White people cannot mince words now because there are certain important words to be said that some white people will only be able to hear from other white people. It is the world we have inherited, the one we ache to make better. You make it better. Henry with his flying leap across the door frame makes it better. I am holding fast to that image of you and Henry, lifting Sophie, loving her. You have taught your children to love, and so you are changing the world for good. And you don't mince words. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-86983132331945088512016-07-09T10:09:42.053-07:002016-07-09T10:09:42.053-07:00So much.

It would be a good start, although I believe that the bigger problem is that we have become the most fearful nation on earth. Our primary motivation is "protection," which means that our primary fear is fear. It is a sad state of affairs, to be certain, and it will only get worse if we don't figure out how to interrupt that cycle.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-35606346367099862552016-07-09T05:01:42.900-07:002016-07-09T05:01:42.900-07:00How much worse can it get?

Your sword cut...Strong women don't mince words.<br />Your sword cut clean and strong.<br />The dark side of this country has become the larger part of it and it feels like a spreading plague. I've never understood America anyway, it is a scary place. livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-53861377184623766232016-07-08T20:17:18.321-07:002016-07-08T20:17:18.321-07:00I don't understand America at all. The answer...I don't understand America at all. The answer to people being killed with guns is more guns. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind to quote Gandhi.<br /><br />I said a prayer for the young man and his family, for the officers killed, for all the people, all the suffering that happens everyday. We live such a short time it seems such a shame that we are unable to do so with kindness and compassion. I'm no better. When I'm tired, hungry, stressed, I'm a bitch. I've been angry enough to seriously hurt someone. To place a gun into the hands of a person who is fearful or angry, any human<br />being for instance, is foolishness and dangerous. As a species we cannot be trusted with weapons I don't think. <br /><br /> My life so farhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721270441968035994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-33015776008419240802016-07-08T12:22:17.703-07:002016-07-08T12:22:17.703-07:00I think we should just take all the fucking flags ...I think we should just take all the fucking flags down.
