Ferguson

As to what happened in Ferguson, should we be surprised? This has been brewing for years, like a kettle of coffee spilling over. But what is to come? And even more, what is the cause of it all? These are tricky questions to answer, and personally I do not think anyone has an answer to them fully. However, if I were to guess, I would say that it perhaps has something to do with the way our culture has developed. We have seen the middle class shrink significantly. We have made no attempts at stabilizing our economy as to ensure economic equality, at least on a reasonable level. The race issue in our country has more to do with poverty than with anything in my view. Until we address these issues, we are doomed as a nation.
