Troubled Nation
Mayhem in our nation is becoming so commonplace that it hardly gets page one space in the newspapers anymore, nor do these blogs of ours reflect on every act of terror, here, or else there wouldn't be time for almost anything else, as these aren't newspapers, after all. It's amazing that the director of the FBI would say that the recent murders in Charleston, S.C. were not terrorism, even though it meets every facet of the government-worded definition of it. Our sympathy for the victims of Charleston, and our hope for calmness and healing in America on many troubled fronts, such as an oversaturation of feckless politicians who do nothing or very little in the face of crisis.
