    Our nation has a bad habit of crying and whinging about the unfair things without actually focusing on and addressing the ACTUAL shit that will stop this from happening in the future.

    I am unreasonably irritated with my countrymen and women who are laser-focused on what happens in a case that is only happening because nobody cares about their communities and local elections. Then it’s going to be over and everyone is going to be distracted by next big consequence of our apathy.

    Our emotions and righteous feelings have no bearing on this unless you can focus that emotion on getting better representation in power.

      I don’t disagree at all. But I can walk and chew gum at the same time on this one :) In other words, they’re not mutually exclusive.
