Divided
For a little treat, Kris and I took a few days off and drove to Richardson to spend some time with my folks. Kris had seen an advertisement for a Titanic Exhibit and bought tickets, which gave us an excuse (not that we needed one. It's just hard to leave our pets right now (more about that another time). Anyway, I was a bit skeptical, but it turned out to be super interesting. I didn't take many pictures during the whole weekend, much less the exhibit. But I took this one. Here's a better graphic: I don't know. I was just struck by how blatant the class division was and how it had such a direct correlation to who lived and who died. Which made me really sad because it's such a metaphor for what is going on now in this country, where the most fragile populations have the fewest lifeboats, you know? It didn't make me feel a bit better to know that this sort of thing has been a reality forever. Especially because we've lost some basic chivalry as the fearmonge...
