Ferguson shows why elite should be worried about a revolution

26. I like to hope that this will be the thing that brings the lower/working class people

together at last.

I have spent some part of this afternoon, until I finally started crying, reading local responses to this (on the STLtoday website). I am sickened by the bigotry and hatred I was reading.

I have told my kids for years, and we live in a very white county surrounded by many gun toting, religious bigots, that the folks at the top are counting on us fighting amongst ourselves.

I am finding more kindred souls online, and getting some direct "news" from real folks online and it could start pulling the other way.

Many more people need to pull back and see that they don't see the young man being shot by the police as the problem, but the looting and damages to businesses. That is the wrong way to be going.

Storms are heading in, on this unseasonably cool August night. I am almost 30 miles southwest from Ferguson, but I hope this will cool heads and bring some peace for everyone. Even the folks at the top who think they want to be above everyone and needs the fighting at the bottom to continue lest the anger be turned toward them. It's hard to wish them something positive like peace, but it needs to be here and everywhere on earth.
