As I write this, University of Missouri students have spoken and the Chancellor and the President of the university have both announced their resignations. Here in Columbia, this is local news, not national. I should be furiously cranking out words fulfilling the role of citizen journalist but I'm not. One 19 year-old has been arrested because he has threatened to "shoot every black person he sees."
I'm still tired and offended. Not just physically tired for want of sleep, that's a given. Physically, mentally and at times even emotionally exhausted as well by the -isms and phobias. Tired and offended that the 21st century looks like the 18th.
For the first time in my life I realize that it's not just exhaustion, but depression is probably part of my life. Guess I'll find out on my next visit to my doctor...
See you tomorrow...
