August 12, 2020-
I am sensing an ennui,
among the people who
comment, investigate
and postulate about
the whos, whats and whys
behind serious matters,
and more quotidian fare.
There is less concern
these days,
with fact,
than with
titillating innuendo.
There is less willingness
to work through an issue,
than to hand off
the matter to
one of the “favoured few”.
There is a joy,
when one finds “clickbait”
on an individual
whom one claims to loathe.
It’s easier to issue
an armchair condemnation,
than to call out the person
and insist on specific steps
that s(he) could take,
in order to rectify
one’s legitimate grievances.
Building legitimacy,
though, is hard work.
As a society we have the attention span of a gnat! I’m hoping that the Democratic ticket will generate some serious discussion…

It has-about whether the Hamilton Brown, who was Se. Harris’ great grandfather, was the slavowner Hamilton Brown or the other one.
