There has been an outpouring of anger at the corruption and incompetence and their peaceful protests remind me of how Minnesota handled the government occupation.

There are ways to address a nation's past, present, and future without being a snowflake. Albania is doing so courageously and we can learn something.

Courage is hard to come by for both individuals and even nations. But the truth, warts and all, can set us free and allow us to do better. If we're brave enough to face it and not be a snowflake.

Many people count 98 million, 99 million, then one billion and ignore or forget the other 900 million. That does provide some perspective as we look at the wealth gap and what that might mean for us.

We used to think a lot of things. Some "certainties" have been debunked, but there are new ones that challenge us. What will a future generation think about how we handle things now?

A story, new to me, changed my view about one of our presidents. In spite of a lot of cultural and societal norms, he challenged the system and made it better when he was took on a case early in his career. We know Rosa Parks, but not Elizabeth Jennings.
