7. I was so angry last night I thought my head would explode. I hear you.

But one thing that is good - these people are being outed like never before. I have a good feeling those cops will face murder charges, just like the ones who killed that young runner who was shot down.

Years ago they would have gotten away with it. And also to see the rage that explodes on Twitter and other places when it happens now is good to see.

Then, for me I always go back to my firm belief that everything happens for a reason that is good, even if it doesn't look that way at the time. When I look at the tragedies in my own life I see them now as stepping stones for my own growth. I have a different belief in personal death so maybe that doesn't make sense to many people.

But it is kind of like that saying from Desiderata: "No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should"

Other than that can I give you a virtual hug?

I believe we are getting better. Remember what it was like in the 60's and compare it to now. We are definitely getting better.
