I Believe… [WOLVERINES!]

By Don Hall

 ...that moral outrage is both inexpensive and readily available, and is, thus, less effective in changing legislation in the face of money and power. It is the fuel that fires change but is pretty weak if used exclusively.

…that eight hours a day of consuming rage-filled tweets and strident Faceborg posts can't possibly be good for our mental health. The 24-hour news cycle was bad enough that adding the non-stop fury of our online reaction might make us all insane.

...that, if you spent more than 30 seconds of your attention on anything Le Trump said about arming teachers, you wasted that 30 seconds. It’s like seeing a small pile of human shit in your living room and wasting the day telling people about the crap on your floor instead of just cleaning it up.

...that "Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, cause they knew death was better than bondage." is perhaps the best line from any Marvel film.

...that, if you think high school kids can’t be heroes, you never saw Red Dawn. WOLVERINES!
