I'm back and.......
What I saw was a politically charged America. It was amazing in many ways.I saw many protests while I was gone on my trip. On both sides of several issues. Including this one.
I even saw a couple of semi-celebrities (cough) in person, getting behind an issue or two. I could care less if the Hollywood A to D types get behind things, I don't really care for or about Hollywood. But, it was very, ummmm, (for lack of a better word) interesting, to watch them flaunt themselves around for a cause.
Speaking of issues - I have decided that I will surrender to a day of mourning today. I will wear black. For the second time since the last election.
I will also apologize (again) to my children for the burdens they will bear due to our total lack of understanding of (and abiding by) the Constitution.
I suppose Congress was hoping that so many people were caught up in March Madness that they wouldn't be paying attention to any other issues or news. It seems to be a trend to deal with and vote on issues when they feel like the least amount of people are watching.
And all of this makes me feel one thing in a very profound way. Pure Sadness.
More later. I have to rest after my trip. Tomorrow will come quickly and it will be back to the daily grind.
Ahem.

I felt the same way- saddened. I also turned to my older kids and said something to the effect that this was going to change life as they know it.
When you try to talk to anyone in support of this bill being passed, they step outside the very issue and muddy the waters by trying to compare it to the civil rights issues. Um? huh? The civil rights issue was in support of GIVING rights to people, not taking them away as this bill is.
You just cannot talk to people drinking that kind of kool-aide. Pure waste of time, and they refuse see the ramifications.
Wish I'd have been clever enough to wear black as you did- your post made me chuckle!
