Yesterday, What I Saw And Heard

Nope, the license plate and the driver to that vehicle were not a match.  I know the difference.

What I saw yesterday:

  • The pain of a woman who had taken from her by force something she will never get back.  An event she will have to live with for the rest of her life.  An event that should never have happened under anyone’s watch.  An event that should never have happened to any of our good men and women who serve this country.

A woman has a right to refuse.  You will see it plain as day across my chest for all persons rights to their own bodies.

What I heard yesterday:

  • The ethical voice of a man speaking for the head of a man whose mind does not exist in the world of tabloids, sound bites, media frenzy, or sinister bullying.  A man unwilling to allow the degradation of a business, of a government, of an institution whose very function is meant to serve and protect not seek and destroy.  It is a huge distinction.  Seek is not the same as serve.

I will caution you in the year.  This is 2018, not 1950, not 1960, not 1970.  Bring us all out of the dark ages with responsible journalism, reporting, and governing.

The real problems in the world are not being heard, not being shared, not given the light of day to bring justice, clarity, or insight.

Is that truly the world in which you want to live?

One that allows the lives of innocent’s around the world to be unheard, unseen, and unspoken?

Give them back their voice.

Write their stories.
