2020 Grimmness and Grave

     2020 a year of plauge,pestilence,misery, and hatred. A year of race riots and discord. George Floyd a bouncer became a symbol of a national rebellion. against the man after his death at the hands of police brutality in Minniapolis. So many deaths by police bruatality followed. Race riots in most American cities and accross the world. I watched as age old statues were toppled and symbols were destroyed. In all it seemed like an unorginized revolution. No clear goal except "change" not  real change .There were parrells in other countries and some traditions died. No clear change happened.  In many ways a step back I thought. Black people who had achieved the oval office and high positions and wealth again seemed to type-caste themselves as people not powerful and struggling. It seemed a mistake and I feel sorry for them. Covid-19 was like a horrific plauge. 300,000 dead in the U.S. and millions globally. The worst splauge since the Spanish flu of 1917.  I like many socially isolated myself. I made the most of my time shopped online and social mediad while working on comic book projects. I missed doing five comic book shows and had delay a vacation. Who knows when Covid-19 will end. The vaccine is here however. And I am relived partially but still people die!!!The year ended I finally joined the Democratic Socialists and felt better. 2020 the year of grimmness and grave.
