We are watching actual genocide in you know where.  I don't want to become a political whinger and complainer but this chart shows the damage being done in terms of statistics.  Is it a 'hate crime' to object to this indeed to be repulsed by it? As a human being with feelings, I do not like to see other human beings suffering. <fanfare of trumpets> I can 'empathize!!!!  Empathy??? What is...

I went to bed relatively early last night at 11:00 p.m. But after about 2:30 a.m. Did not find myself in any need or further sleep and so I arose.
