It seems to me that reconciliation requires all parties to share at least one common denominator. My suggestion for that starting point would be that all SANE human beings want the same thing: Justice. Working from that base, people could evaluate all of the propaganda pushed on us and then work through the details of what should be saved and what should be tossed out.

Are you familiar with the process in South Africa? I am not. I sense the need for the most aggrieved, particularly indigenous Americans, and African Americans, be welcomed to share their stories. This would lead to a grieving process for our society.

We must grieve for all of the losses suffered in the name of capitalism and capital acquirement by the white patriarchy. We simply DO NOT grieve, but push into our should the pain of our ancestors and oneself.

Americans have great traumatic shame, for our history one’s personal history, as well as our current carnage from guns, poverty, addiction, abuse. We are sick in so many

ways.

I feel a sense that I need to leave this country
