(I don't know why I said that, but I sincerely hope that qualifies as the emotive rageophonic verbal effluence you were seeking! )
I don't see much on Yemen either. US UK arm Saudis and destroy a starving Yemen meanwhile Russia Russia Russia sends 25 million tons of food.
"don't it make you smile, don't it make you smile"
You seem to think that, like you, people choose to share every thought that comes to mind on here - and if they don't, they simply don't care.
I find the US arming and refuelling of Saudi army jets to facilitate the bombing of Yemen to be absolutely despicable. I also see no way to debate that ugliness, as it's utterly incomprehensible and without a defendable position - so why would I waste my time posting about it when I'm powerless to facilitate change or even learn more about it?
Clearly you want to be the board's shining beacon who educates the masses - and no one is stopping you - but to assume that because we're not here up in arms and preaching about how sad and corrupt things are, that we just don't care - is a really terrible and likely false assumption on your part.
Also, your tongue-in-cheek sarcastic quips on serious topics about nefarious actions are just distasteful. I'm no PC Nazi, but I'm at least self-aware enough to recognize that showing smugness in taking adversarial positions to those you're trying to convince is one of the least effective way to sway opinion.

What is your point here? That someone can't be against racism if they don't post about every single incidence of racism that exists today? I don't think you reach that bar either, but feel free to try. I personally don't have time to post on everything.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf

And you know, for some of us, it's just not news but rather another example, in a long list of them, of white privilege and institutionalized racism. I'm sure Trump's justice department is working hard to combat it.
There are women of many descriptions In this queer world, as everyone knows Some are living in beautiful mansions And are wearing the finest of clothes There are blue blood queens and princesses Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl But the only and thoroughbred lady Is the Rebel Girl
That’s the Rebel Girl, the Rebel Girl! To the working class, she’s a precious pearl She brings courage, pride and joy To the fighting Rebel Boy We’ve had girls before, but we need some more In the Industrial Workers of the World For it’s great to fight for freedom With a Rebel Girl
Yes, her hands may be hardened from labor And her dress may not be very fine But a heart in her bosom is beating That is true to her class and her kind And the grafters in terror are trembling When her spite and defiance she’ll hurl For the only and thoroughbred lady Is the Rebel Girl

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
I like the snarky antagonism. The topic of institutional racism often gets discussed in here. But as you see in other threads, many people think racism only comes from the guys in pointy hoods and want to call BLM a terrorist group.
Americans are regularly advised by the State Department to avoid going to countries — like Venezuela, Haiti, or the Philippines — that are considered too violent or politically unstable to visit. But according to the NAACP, people of color don’t need to cross an international border for their lives to be in danger. Racism is so bad in Missouri that the civil rights organization has issued a travel advisory warning people of color that they could be endangering their lives if they visit the state.

The songs of ones remaining matter.
You matter
I do too
In this queer world, as everyone knows
Some are living in beautiful mansions
And are wearing the finest of clothes
There are blue blood queens and princesses
Who have charms made of diamonds and pearl
But the only and thoroughbred lady
Is the Rebel Girl
That’s the Rebel Girl, the Rebel Girl!
To the working class, she’s a precious pearl
She brings courage, pride and joy
To the fighting Rebel Boy
We’ve had girls before, but we need some more
In the Industrial Workers of the World
For it’s great to fight for freedom
With a Rebel Girl
Yes, her hands may be hardened from labor
And her dress may not be very fine
But a heart in her bosom is beating
That is true to her class and her kind
And the grafters in terror are trembling
When her spite and defiance she’ll hurl
For the only and thoroughbred lady
Is the Rebel Girl
That’s the Rebel Girl, the Rebel Girl!
To the working class, she’s a precious pearl
She brings courage, pride and joy
To the fighting Rebel Boy
We’ve had girls before, but we need some more
In the Industrial Workers of the World
For it’s great to fight for freedom
With a Rebel Girl

2. Your family and friends
Some people do not realize how much these things matter, until they lose one of them.

Mr Williams will live to see another day, stay of execution.
