What a strange, strange world we live in.   It seems all ordinary, you go through your day with minor surprises, but the essential facts are there, you don't even think about them.  It seems safe and predictable, even when intellectually you know its not.  But take away even the smallest fact, one that you've never thought about, and which hasn't really mattered to you, a fact which is no way affects your life, the absence of which will not be even noticeable to you, and suddenly, the house of cards is shattered.  Because a fact that was a fact is gone.  Poof.   Nothing where something once was.  If that can happen, what sense does the world make?  It's so easy to rationalize and explain away things when they are happening in the distance, but let something you know in your gut as well as your brain happen, then is where you realize all of your explanations are empty.

This is not acceptable.   This is not the world people should live in.  We have to be better, we have to make this world better, so that things don't disappear in the shadows, and people are not lost.  Now.
