It has been very difficult for me to discuss this. And I think that everyone in our DU community is aware that I am rarely at a loss for words. Usually, I write long essays here. But the ones on this just don't flow .....as our wonderful friend Peggy (from CA) noted, she could see the strain in my essays about this case.

The words you cite have all danced inside my head. There are times when the person that I used to be starts warming up inside of me. While I try to be non-violent in thought and action, and have done so for decades now, I still find myself feeling and thinking in ways that are what I used to be.

But I will refuse to allow this sludge to contaminate me for an extended time. I know that my family's experience is one that thousands of other families experience in America today. At some point, the hatred has to stop. I hope that I can be strong enough to be a participant in change in this land.
