shortage? I just caught a clip that was shown on CNN. You see this very uncomfortable white man squirming in his seat as a voice off camera is barking, "Did you, or did you not make a mistake?" The white man resists answering the question. Finally, the camera pans to the man behind the voice and you see a commanding black man looking down at FDA rep. (I think his name was Congressman Cummings? A Dem) And he says to the rep, I have to go back to my district and explain to them why there was a shortage. Now was there a mistake made so that we can correct it so it doesn't happen again?

The answer: Yes, we made a mistake. We didn't pass the report on in time to do something about it.

Now, that's what a real democracy looks like. A minority is sometimes stronger, when it has nothing left to lose. If we're going to be treated like animals, let us be fearsome animals!
