Stirrings

Whether the mass protests around the country in response to the deaths of Michael Brown and several other black men will continue is in question, but the feelings being released will not be buried.  Along with the drive for a living wage, the quest for social justice will not go away even if the media chooses to ignore it.  I find the mass "die ins" being staged around the country remind me of the 60s and 70s protest movements in response to the Vietnam war.  People of all colors are engaged in the fight and I believe that like the war protests, these shows of solidarity will eventually bring about long lasting change.  The big difference is the dems still had majorities in the house and senate and some legislators were responsive to the people.   With troglodytes like Steve King and Louis Gomert riding high, sympathy for the lower classes and people of color is unlikely.
