A spectre is haunting America. Everything connects. The dead are dead,
life is the job of the living. And other platitudes. If there is no
rally, it all goes as it goes now--we continue to relinquish
responsibility to our screens when our feet, and our voices are needed
most.

Or will the Woolstreet popular discontent steal the limelight? (I mean, it plays out better & there is the possibility for build up. On the other hand, what do ya do with the dead guy? interview his family? hmm.)

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all
creeds the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the
trust in reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments
of darkness groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates
than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
