Contrast

Everybody’s bitching and moaning and hating each other, in Saudi Arabia they are executing women basically for  being women (uppity  women), in Libya people  are actually being sold as slaves, another school shooting today, and an oil spill a couple of days ago. (There were people who  objected to that  pipeline, you know.  I think they are owed  an apology.)
But then, my day was actually pretty good.  My  lessons all  went fine, although my older group  of  little kids was rebellious, Emma has become rather good at reading, so that was heartening.  It was a warm day,  with perfect skies.
What the hell is wrong  with this world that some of us can  have it so good while others have it so  hard?  This is not sustainable.
