Jul 2013

After reading the above article, I am literally paralyzed. All my circuits are blown, metaphorically speaking.

I will need some time to adjust and to respond to this outrage.

I apologize for not being sufficiently single-minded, bloody-minded, or whatever it would take to just go on with life as if the floor hadn't vanished beneath my feet. As if I didn't care.
