We do not have an “Anglo Saxon” criminal justice system; we have an American criminal justice system. America is made up of many cultures, many ethnicities, many religions and many colors. To deny his inference is your choice, but my refusal to deny it does not bely my ignorance.

Not just "younger" hearts and minds. Ageism is just one more set of prejudices we can do without. The older you are the more you know some things, and the younger you are the more you know other things. All of us are needed now.

1) Get involved in midterms. 2) Read the news. 3) Participate in organizations working on getting $ out of politics (movetoamend.org etc). 4) Help fight voter suppression (Ari Berman good on that). 5) Support the ACLU. 6) MEDITATE. 7) Whatever else your heart says to do.
