What sort of world do we live in? Ebola raging. New wars started. Young men shot at point blank in the most free country in the world? Journalists beheaded with their families unable to ransom or negotiate for their release. What sort of world do we live in?

Where is our representation? Where is our Congress? Where is our leadership? Why are we in a place without any representation, with no one talking, engaging, trying to change this miserable place we find ourself...in a world of climate change in all levels of that meaning.

Something and nothing. Horror and more horror. Where are we? Why are we so flaccid? Why are we so silent? I find myself silent, silenced and dumb.
