Much as I like to promote balance and equanimity sometimes there is a time for outrage and today was one of them.
As Heather Heyer said on her Facebook page: "If you're not outraged you're not paying attention."
Her mother had a message for the fascist element who helped set the stage for her death. "If you think you are stopping her voice, you just magnified it." According to friends and family Heather devoted her life to injustice and now the Alt- right has made her a martyr. I'll wear purple in her honor tomorrow.
But my outrage reached its boiling point today when I heard 45 make statements about there being good people and violent people on both sides in Charlottesville. He is openly condoning the Neo-Nazi, racist, fascist, alt-right fringe who seem to be gathering steam to be violent elsewhere. This must be because he agrees with them. What is he doing in the White House??
A little or a lot outrage is the answer today. To feel otherwise would not be a good thing. We have gone beyond the boiling point. We are all frogs in the pot of water now.
