My neighbor's store was burned to the ground. There was smoke in the air and the smoke did not come from the steel mills. Demonstrators in Washington DC were rounded up in buses and then the buses were tear gassed. Then there was the national guard firing live rounds at students.

And now this is starting to happen again. There are riots in London and Greece. There are bullets being fired in London. There are demonstrations everywhere and armed conflict in some states. Just look at Libya and Syria.

I had hoped to never see riots again in the US. Unless there is action taken to improve, not fix but improve, people's lives in the US I see riots coming to a location near you. I wish this was not so, but the tone of the nation scares the shit out of me.
