ezs note:   Today, it's an important day.  Especially for Jamaica and  LGBT Jamaicans.  Dwayne Jones was murdered three years ago today.  While improvements have been made, 'police' officers still haven't done anything. 

Hey, what're ya gonna do, real police work, or sip on a rum and Coke?

ezs note:  I was reading the Hartford Courant a little while ago, and I was a little sad.  It seems that in Connecticut, (as well as several other states) state and city hopefuls simply aren't willing to put their name out there. This is something that is happening among Democrats and Republicans.  

Every time a ballot line goes blank, we all suffer a bit.  And who do I expect to step up to the plate?  YOU, pal.  You can make the case for a more fair, more humane bit of America?  Is it gonna be easy?  Nope, not here, pal...

But YOU can make the difference.
