And the dog came in from out of the rain........

A dog can shake roughly 70 percent of the water from its fur in four seconds.

Wiki lends:

"Native Americans were greatly affected by the European colonization of the Americas, which began in 1492."

"December 18, 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery."

"The 19th Amendment (allowing non African American women the right to vote) was signed into legislation on August 18th, 1920."

"The Voting Rights Act prohibiting racial discrimination in voting was signed into law on August 6, 1965."

The dog came in from out of the rain, shook... yet much dirt, wetness, hatred, prejudice, bigotry, remains.

The EEOC, in 2016, received 91,503 charges of discrimination. Race-based discrimination, 35.3%. Disability-Based 30.7%. Sex-Based 29.4%. National Origin-Based 10.8%. Equal Pay Act Violation 1.2%.

We are a society far, far from fixed, perfect - and certainly not solely in the workplace - but not fixed in many ways in everyday life. Despite the wonderful work of many a man/woman - we've still got dirt on us.

I am an admitted Democrat. I've admittedly lived, just fine, under Republican administrations, enacted laws, etc. While I personally have been displaced in employment - I do see some good economically happening in our land - far from perfect, but there have been some good results. Too early to tell on the long-term stage.

The dog though... continually coming in out of the rain, demonstrating discrimination, shock, ugly in so many ways.. must go, be impounded. Many, I feel, believe he doesn't bark for us (and you can capitalize US if you prefer.)

Seen a dog catcher? He's certainly off his leash.

Love, we need it, Victurd
