So far it’s been a thuggish week. The Boston Marathon bombings. The media frenzy and over-reaction that followed. The Senate demonstrating, once again, that it thinks “democracy” is crazy talk. And now the fertilizer plant in West, Texas.
Get out. Go for a walk. Sit down at a sidewalk cafe. Be with people, show you’re not afraid.
