I got wrapped up today in a debate on the situation in Jena, Louisiana. First off, my admittance of a mistake, I posted without knowing all of the basic facts. After reading the news stories from Jena, and listening to the statements of Sharpton and Jackson, I did not pick up the news of the assault on the African American teenager. Both the press and I daresay the leaders of the protest, have missed that, at least today. As did I. So some of this diary will be an apology, other parts will be a plea for sanity.
