I have been in shock for the past few days.
On Wednesday, it hailed (first time in 5 years), and there was a thunderstorm and a lightening storm.
Just the day before, Tuesday, had been sunny and clear and bright.
I think the weather is telling us something. There had been hope. There was hope. Now the hope has been crushed, mutilated, dissected, destroyed.
God is also telling us something through the hail. God's telling us that he's mourning with us. If I were God, and I were used to justify the hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers murdered, the countless number of heinous acts, the butchering of an economy one man has committed to slowly destroy a nation, I would mourn too. I would send hurricanes through Florida too. I would send the first hail in year too. I would thunder too. I would cast lightening too.
Justice, democracy, again denied in America. I am ashamed of my country. Ours is not a democracy anymore. It's a theocracy, an oligarchy, a plutocracy.
Nadia said it right. Morality my ass.
