February 24, 2015.

My advisor told me I should post frequently - add links - and then he gave me a  bunch of other tips, in order to generate viewership to stimulate interest to explore more of the real story, which is not the story about Greg, but rather the web that was woven by bigger fish.  The only piece of advice I followed was to post regularly and I was very dutiful, up until I finished telling my tale.

I kinda grew tired of spinning about in the deep dirty waters that we were in, the pool of negativity.

Meanwhile incredible news stories occupied us - Brian Williams was suspended, Bob Simon passed suddenly, the movie "50 shades" was released, a minor mention was mad that the other two journalists in Egypt are going to be retried, and little concern has been expressed by Governments around the world over the beheading of Christians by masked men.  Oscar viewership was down 16%.

Another minor news story was the report that 60% of people in prison - are people who couldn't make bail, with some fines as little as $250 and who are waiting for a court appearance that make take up to a year.  And they wonder why people become radicalized.  Naturally, I would not have processed that bit of information, were it not for Greg's experience, where he saw first hand the appalling conditions facing poor, most Black kids and Latino's sitting in Cook County.
I sure hope things change.
