I had never seen that blog before. It's bookmarked now, but I don't know whether I can bear to go back.
I'll have to add it to my (virtual) collection of honest sites, sad stories, personal tragedies, etc., that I might, one day, somehow, distill into a cohesive narrative (or, better, an incoherent narrative) that could be printed and sold or given away on the corner of 57th Street and Sixth Avenue, where I used to buy I.F. Stone's Bi-Weekly (previously Weekly). That newsstand was only a few blocks uptown from another Sixth Avenue corner where I could see Moondog holding forth any weekday when I went out for lunch.
What in the name of all that is true and right and good have we allowed to happen in this country? When will we stand up and strike? Just stop the world? And recalibrate it? I fight and write and march...I want to see another "empty plates" demo, darn it!!! I think I will set one up again, hopefully more people will be exposed!!! (See here for the first one-maybe we can have more and more and more?): http://juliawilliamsforcongress.com/

Yes, painful reading
