this week, my eldest son lost a friend to suicide.
Anthony was a veteran. He had returned home recently, after being overseas for 8 years.
He was an incredibly loving young person.
May he now find his peace.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
