Wow, Barbara, it looks like you should have written your essay! I wanted to highlight every word. So many of us are beside ourselves, beyond frustration, and we all have voices that need to be heard. Not just SHOULD be heard, NEED TO BE.

If you want to write about this I would be honored to publish it in Indelible Ink. You could copy and paste what you wrote here, add a headline and a picture and join the voices that will swell into a crescendo too loud to be ignored.

If you would like to be added to my writers list let me know and I’ll include you.

Meanwhile, thanks for your input here. It is so appreciated.
