    Some wrote it off as madness, but no few of them dismissed my question
    with "You don't know what it was like."

    I do know what it wasn't like: It wasn't like the United States of
    America.

Rick, I want to thank you. When I read it, it brought tears to my eyes in remembrance of all the times that I was too outraged to say it this well, with this much heart. Especially in these times, when it needs to be said as often and as loudly as possible.
