From (posted): 8/30/2015 Americans have the human right of self-definition, to define being, to define perception, and the right to be: We are equal to each other, not less than, not greater than, but equal. We’re the same but different: In our sameness we have a simpatico understanding of other people, of a common humanity; we have empathy for other human beings… In our difference we are who we are -- we have a state of being -- we have a soul -- that which makes us unique... Our human, civil, and Constitutional rights are inviolate... Black Lives Matter might consider changing the entreaty, the statement of definition or their mission to Black Lives Matter Too (it’s likely others have suggested this). In this, they might challenge the argument that in suggesting Black Lives Matter they are mitigating the belief that All Lives Matter, but rather they are insisting, and want America to know, that Black Lives Matter Too.

A carbuncle is a roiled mass of skin or a beautiful gem. The incredible gem is pictured in the logo below and at the bottom of the short story section...
Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website (there has been a very limited editorial input in some of my work). All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits are vetted, investigated, though after the summer of 2018 my vetting has lapsed: (6/1/21).
