I write because I can refine and focus what I say to add clarity, gravity, and eloquence (and sick legal burns, depending on the intended reader). Bari, you speak as you write - I am in awe and so proud of you and grateful for your ability to so clearly, calmly, and powerfully express both the facts and the anguish you feel. For what the opinion of one of your zillion readers is worth, I admire you, I honor you, and I thank you for your relentlessness and honesty in stating what is simply so. We are at a crossroads as a civilized society. I have no answers, because I don’t know how to rationalize the irrational behavior of deniers and those who cheer on acts of inhumanity and barbarism, as you so aptly name it. But I will never stop questioning and challenging anyone, and any system, that fails to wholeheartedly and full-throatedly condemn it. My sympathy and shared sorrow goes to you and your friends who have lost loved ones. May their memory be a blessing.
