“This is America, where a white Catholic male Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic Jewish woman member of Congress, who was his friend. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year old Mexican-American gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African American President.”

It's ironic that, of the people in that list, only the murdered judge would be welcomed here by many on the Far Right.
And it's amazing that Allen Ginsberg is still kicking!
This is an extraordinary--and profound--observation. Unfortunately the vast majority of our citizenry will never take it into account.
