I'm glad I went to the Ferguson protest march in Houston this evening. 

There was a cross section of people and what seemed to be many students from the U. of Houston and Texas Southern. The police were for the most part restrained. 

The issue is more than Michael Brown. Though he matters a great deal. It's the entire economic and justice system. Stuff is broken. 


The terrible turnout in the election this month was a vote of no confidence for how our country is going. 

I did my bit today even though it was a bit tense at times. I'd ask people to please consider what they can do outside their comfort zone. 

It's clear that things are messed up in this country and that we can't count on our political leaders for solutions.

I got a breaking news alert on email about the Houston protest. It was quite substantive and got to the meat of the whole issue:

"Protesters blocking intersection in SE Houston: Demonstrators protesting the grand jury's decision in Ferguson are partially blocking the intersection of MLK and Old Spanish Trail. Police are on the scene."

Oh, wait. That wasn't helpful at all. I'm glad you wrote this, though, and wish I'd managed to get down there.
