Republicans brag about supporting wars for profit and Democrats lie about supporting wars for profit. So we spend trillions, killing millions for billionaires. This will bankrupt America by 2030.
The life and death struggle continues. Black lives matter, but Thursday night Malcolm Chaddock risked his life to prevent a blood-bath. A right-wing Trump supporter came to the Black Lives Matter march with a semi-automatic pistol and six clips of ammunition, enough to kill a hundred people in the time it takes to draw a few breaths.

“What happens to a dream deferred?”
...asked the poet Langston Hughes over sixty years ago in a poem simply entitled:
“Harlem.”
More than a half century later the dream is still deferred, the site is Baltimore and the prophetic voice of the poet still asks what happens when an
other generation of dreams becomes deferred, “does it sag like a heavy load” or “does it explode?”
These are extreme times during which the growing disparity in terms of wealth and opportunity adds fuel to the fires of despair every day.
Laws and rules may tell us how to live; but a person must have a why to live. In the soul of America, the why to live has best been imagined as a dream. Not the simple “American dream” of blind materialism; but the wild complexity of dreams trying to live through the great diversity of souls that makes up the America that has not been yet.

The vigil took place in a struggle for justice for three years, on the spot where Keaton’s life was needlessly taken. And we continue the struggle. There has been no justice.
