those were my first thoughts when I woke up this morning (PDT) and saw the headlines.

And then I began reading the details about last nights events in Dallas. I cried...and as a 50 year old, white male, I seem to cry quite a bit more than I would ever like or thought I would at this point in my life. But I’m also ok with it. That’s the world we find ourselves in, and why shouldn’t I shed tears when I feel pained?

But, looking around online, there was just so much speculation about the reasons for these events. Who was responsible and what was the intent. Even on DKos, there were diaries about that it must have been white supremacists who had carried out these attacks.

My mind screamed...STOP IT!!! We don’t know…

And then, seeing other responses, my mind screamed...OMFG!

But then I thought about whether we truly find ourselves in some other sort of place...a different reality than we were in just a few hours before…

And I know we’re not!

We’re all just all caught up in trying to make sense of it all…

And this song seemed to make sense to me, today!

Here’s the song:

It's Too Late...

And here are the lyrics:

Song lyrics:

A "Real" American's View on the Immigration Debate

I'm an incredibly long time lurker. This is my first diary post. So, be kind, but also be honest! Many of you have carried forth my arguments for certain issues that I care about. But, with this, it's my turn!

(P.S., about my screen name...it's not something violent...it has to do with golf and playing forged irons, lol)!
