New Dawn

Today is a new day, the sun came up, will probably go down on the other side of the world.
As it crosses Arizona I'll be thinking of the six who were killed. John Green, father of Christina Green, was on one of the morning shows this morning, barely and bravely holding it together. Watching him brought tears to my eyes.
Those who incite anger, violence by their rhetoric are to blame, no question. Do they think their words have no effect? Then why are they saying what they do?
I think this rhetoric began with the election of Obama-at least it came to the forefront. It seems to come from those who are angry that the world-the US-is changing. They feel threatened that their ideas and their supremacy for the last centuries are waning. In a few decades they will be a minority, and people of color will be a majority.
Many have adjusted to the changes in our society, some have not. What will it take for them? Realization of the consequences of their words, actions? Or, will we see more of what happened in Arizona?
Where do the rest of us start? I know the starting point is love. I'm working on how to do that.
