Ferguson, Missouri
Nov. 26th, 2014 08:37 amI feel I must say something about Ferguson, although I fear anything I say would sound inept because my mind has been so firmly locked in on my own family's concerns for the past several months.
As part of my hyperfocus, I have been avoiding the news entirely for about three months, listening almost exclusively to classical music. But when something like Ferguson happens, even the hyperfocused have to look up and pay attention. I am so sorry, for the citizens of Ferguson, Missouri, for the Brown family, and for this country, and however remote I have been from everything, I cannot help but share in their grief and outrage at such an injustice. Some wise things will undoubtedly be said by people with much, much more brainpower to spare than I have right now. I hope that some good will come from the protests springing up all around the country.
(That's the best I can do right now.)
