There is injustice everyday
There was injustice yesterday. There is injustice today. There will be injustice tomorrow. Yet, despite this, justice still exists and Americans are not a nation of lawbreakers.

If we decide to become rabble, we will pay the price. We will give our returning reality tv president all of the excuse he needs to throw us away and keep the key. We will destroy our neighborhoods our own selves in truly spectacular fashion.

Such destruction would be an act of malice we would commit against ourselves. We would cut off our own noises to spite an angry, pathetic fellow and achieve nothing.

Now, should you come up with some “good trouble” by which we may bend the arc of history back toward justice do tell me.
