been finding that my thoughts on "current events" are fluid, and so I figured I'd write something quick for DU:GD. At other times, both in person and on the internet, I listen to people arguing over the primaries, and think how sad it is that they just don't get it. Or I listen to my daughter tell me about the abuse one of her Chinese-American friends has been subjected to in public in Boston, and recognize that a good many people lack the conscious awareness required to "get it."

I am proud of my children. One has been assisting in planning for temporary medical treatment sites in DC; one is working on serves to young people at an area hospital; one is busy providing food and shelter to poor people in Boston; and the youngest is providing mental health services to teens in a two-county region.
