In Colorado (where I think the Bad Astronomer lives, Boulder right?)

And elsewhere?

I just.. don’t .. what?

Really?

Do we not all bleed, laugh and love? (Apologies to Shakespeare’s Shylock)

Are we not human too?

Are we capable of getting it?

Of being humane humans

Who know what it is to be human

Regardless of orientation and other crap?

So sad.
