Every time you mention Sue, I also think of Elaine in Ireland who was violently killed a couple days before Sue's death as she was fighting for the same things that you and the rest of us are fighting for here. 

I was close with Elaine, although I never met her in person. She died in the context of a Mayday celebration in Dublin. Her passing and pain were much on my mind when Sue passed away some 10-12 days later.

I would like to draw your attention to a PsySR-disc post today by Cfi, subject: "It's not 'Class Warfare,' it's Christianity." 

I'm assigning my algebra students a "benthic" task HERE - called "It's not 'class warfare', it's math." Which is a direct quote from Barack Obama, last week 9/19.

I was speaking to my sense that a certain kind of way of being is under the most brutal of assaults, that people like Troy, Sue, Elaine have been trapped in a lethal social dynamic. Each of them said so, and .. saw it coming.
