Yeah, on to the Spur pics and the tiny houses and the ruins, plus a lot of views of the lay of the land on the way to Spur from Lubbock. But first, let me just stick my nose into the Ferguson mess: the city has a population of about 21,000 of which approximately 67% is black. That's a black majority. But they aren't represented in city government and their particular interests seem to be ignored. Does that black majority vote? How many of them have even bothered to register to vote? If you don't organize to protect your interests, if you can't be bothered to vote (and the clear majority of potential black voters in Ferguson would certainly be able to change the picture completely around) how am I supposed to be sympathetic? In general, I despise people who don't exercise the right to vote. If you don't vote you are a lazy dog. Non-voters are trash and they deserve to be oppressed.
