Recently, a young woman, a 15 year-old girl, was gang-raped outside a high school dance in Richmond, across the Bay. Several more boys stood there, watching, and did nothing to help her

Hoping the third time's a charm. I've tried twice to respond, and managed, both times, to accidentally close the window I was working in, and without having saved the text of my response. Fingers crossed

Some of us fail in bigger ways, or at bigger things than others (and we are capable of truly spectacular failures in groups), but it does not help to make that human failure something so other that the rest of us don't have to worry about it, or think about it, or see how close we are to it. We can reflect on it, we can act on it, and we can change it.This is lovely, and true, and the elegant summation of what I was trying to say

So well written.

Your voice is such a welcome thing to hear.
