I have been forced to watch as each and every single thing I’ve ever held dear be raped and mutilated over and over,

My family’s home was taken by the government under immanent domain, torn down and turned into a park where gangs now have shootouts and junkies OD,

Many of my friends are dead, many from suicide, others from drugs or illness,

My income has dropped by 50% over the past 10 years,

Every promotion I apply for is given to a woman, by another woman,

I have been economically displaced, having to leave what few possessions, friends and family I’ve ever had,

I’ve been hanging from a ledge – once, quite literally – for 20 years now…

FINE, fine.

But what I watched today was the final straw.

Whatever powers are monitoring this board, I want you to know just one thing,

you’re not racing against the clock of corruption anymore,

you’re racing against people like me.
