I Lived thru Cold War, Civil Rights era. Believed in the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius" twice. They shot JFK Now they shot the Great Experiment I'm a retired mechanical engineer and systems integration project manager, I'm an ombudsman for my refugee friends. I love science, all fields, refurbish bikes for folks in need. I restore native ecosystems. I stay busy with these endeavors out of humanist love and to suppress my seething rage.

I so dearly wish I had a viable answer. 60 years ago, during the most violent days of the Civil Rights movement I thought it would fade away. Lunchcounters were accessible to all, gas stations closed the 3d restroom, "whites only" signs were removed. I thought the new generation, growing up alongside darker-skinned people would take it in stride, wonder what the fuss had been about. Now 60 years later, their great-grandkids are no better than the ones who spit on Ruby Bridges.

I think full isolation would be torture for him. I'm good with that.

home confinement would be f-ing useless. I did see something about an FBI "safe house" for mob squealers that MIGHT be ok. Keeping him in a normal prison would be tough on its administration, where do SS stay, etc. IF that place on an army base near Baltimore would have no internet, no phone calls, tv locked on msnbc, visitors limited & regulated like in prison, prison-type food, no choices, maybe two rooms like a Residence Inn, I'd buy it. Easier to manage.

Me: "I'm gonna go spread mulch. Maybe shovelling it will relive this scaline spasm in my neck"

She: "How'd you get it?"

Me: "shovelling mulch"

She:

Later:

She, on front porch: what are you doing?"

Me, lying in driveway near 6 yards of mulch: "recovering from falling"

She: "Need to fix anything?"

Me: "Scraped elbow, hip hurts."

She: "what happened?"

Me: "I was trying to get that loose flap of tarp clear enough to fold back. It is a trip hazard.

She: "And?"

Me: "I tripped on it.
