What Colin Kapernick needs to do is get behind one particular case of injustice...and I have just the one

In 1969 Robert "Bobby" Beausoliel  committed a murder. He was the broker of a drug deal between another individual, and a motorcycle gang. The dealer, Gary Hinman ripped off the bikers, and being the middle man, the bikers told Beausoliel "our money or your life". He went to Hinman who would not cooperate. A struggle ensues, and eventually murder.

I don't know what the average time served is for killing a drug dealer, but I'd be willing to bet that 99%, if not higher, do not serve 50 years! Now at 70, Bobby Beausoliel is more than a model prisoner. He has accomplished many great things both before and while in prison, and would be a great contributor to society in the "free" world.

Yoni Applebaum has a short memory

 If you want to read his article you can. I stopped when I realized it was more excuse making for losing an election.

When obama was elected there were record numbers of first time voters in the black communities.

It seems there was a time when America was great, when people won and lost with dignity. Has that happened yet this century/millennia? Now we know what the problem is with millennials, politicians, lawyers, and social media.

CAL vs BYU

College football season is in full swing, and I find this to be tonight's intriguing game.

2 unranked teams, deservedly so
Mirror images going head to head
Small mindedness and intolerance on either side of the line

Which school is which?
Does it matter?

Final score 0-0
