Somewhat inspired by Nicole Marie's self-implication, I wanted to go further and point out that there are external forces which have perpetrated the crisis. Consider the mirror, the self-accusation. Further consider: who does enable my community self, my commercial self, my consumer self, to become an evildoer?

Who feeds my world, shoots up our veins of commerce with spending power and interest? Who buys and sells us? What have we turned our labors over to hold and devour? Who do we permit to pulverize and bomb--our palates, senses, physical spaces and the homes of strangers continents away?

Most of those enumerated herein are suspects in the local-to-Minneapolis Humanitarian Crisis. Dismayingly, all of them also reach out their tentacles from our fair city to wreak their awfulness hither and yon. I reflect those tentacles, also, tacitly and with my silence.
