The Coming Storm

Maybe we've been saying it with every generation, that the end is near and all that stuff. I personally don't believe the end is... ever. But i do believe that our society, as it exists on Earth, has the technology to expose the ugliness that is humanity. We can see it now, instantly, from the other side of the globe. We can see racism and sexism and torture and failed military operations and all of the ugly consequences of all that. We can see our political leaders bumble around justifying their corporate-friendly lawmaking. We see it all. We are all disgusted.

That's the first step.

The second step is the action that follows the disgust. Our Black neighbors have been on this for years now. Simply arguing that Black lives... matter, they are on the front. Power has been bringing the disgust to their front door since any of us can remember. They have every right to be mad. We should all be just as mad. And we are getting there. The disgust is coming.

Then...

... what happens once it's decided in our heads that we've had enough disgust? Are you going to fight back? Are you going to talk? Are you going to run? Hide? Or are you just going to tune it out? I challenge you to ponder what this country means to you, and what you think it needs to be. Then look around you, and see what is keeping that from happening.
