A brief comment on withdrawal and the state of the country today

I am not doing a full post today.  I wrote a very long post yesterday, it was effort-intensive, and right now, there are so many things that disgust me that I am spending a day (at least) withdrawing.

I have the capacity to do so.  I am relatively safe from the police because of my skin color.  The protests in my metropolitan area are nowhere near my home, and do not threaten my house, my property, nor my person, despite sporadic violence.

My capacity to withdraw in disgust is not uniformly distributed across society.  See previous comments.  And yet, I shall use it, while pointing it out and describing its distribution.

To withdraw is to say no more than that.
