McMillen_1 mind :: my brain and yours

this story saddened me so, so deeply. 

and so did this one.

and this one.

and this one.

As I wrote on Facebook yesterday,

I am unhappy with humans today. I am unhappy with mine owners who put the lives of workers at risk, repeatedly. I am unhappy with teachers and administrators and parents who ignore that bullying is a life-threatening issue, repeatedly. I am unhappy with a whole community that ostracizes a young lesbian girl over a simple prom, repeatedly. Once we know, we cannot not know. We have to do better than this, we really do.
