concern just isn't the word. The judges are the worst of it! They are not going away. I have a strange mixture of fear and anger that keeps me awake. I've never felt this way before, not after the MLK murder, not during the Vietnam era, not after the murder of a friend, and not after anything I can think of.

After the Nazis marched in my town and killed a friend's granddaughter, I also got an inkling of what hate feels like. I had hoped that I could avoid feeling that in my life.

We must prevail.
