Dog Daze: Race in America

Race in America

Here are my thoughts on this whole brouhaha...

Yes, Professor Gates overreacted. Yes, the police officer did, too. Obama reacted badly as well. But if anyone deigns to suggest that this country isn't still big-time fucked up about race, then that would make them big-time...jack-asses.

And that is the entirety of my thoughts on the subject. For today.

ABOUT ME

I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York but found it too wet and mosquito-ridden to stay. Moved to New Mexico. No, I am NOT planning to live in all the "New" states.

I'm a software consultant by day. I am a dog-lover, gardener, photographer, writer and absolutely love my new home of Santa Fe, New Mexico. I plan to spend as much of the next few years exploring the west, enjoying my dogs and loving life. I also will do whatever I can to get things going in the right direction for this country. Top of the list: fewer guns, stricter gun control laws. My life, the lives of my family and friends, of your children and the lives of all Americans trump anyone's right to easy access to guns, or the need for handguns or high-powered or high-capacity weapons at all. The unmitigated gall of thinking that carrying them as though we all still lived in the Old West is the beginning of the end of civilization, not any kind of a right. Unless you are in the militia. That would be today's law enforcement for any of you who are confused.
