4/11/16 RMB Saying
“When”
Dear Rita Mae
Brown,
I’ve been
wondering lately about when you say “when”. You know how people will pour your
drink and instruct you to say “when”. Inevitably someone will respond “When”
once the liquid has reached the optimal level.
Here we are in
the midst of candidates, spewing demands and pompous statements, touting
violence and discrimination.
Where’s the
tipping point? When do we say “when”? When is enough ENOUGH ALREADY?
There were
those in the 1930’s who warned against Hitler’s politics. But it wasn’t enough to
turn the tide. People heard what they wanted to hear, until the truth could no
longer be denied. How can we have learned so little in eight decades of aftermath?
If words are damning
to one, they are damning to all.
When,
Loraine
I'd never thought about this! So interesting.
