No need for an apology. Things are truly strange right now.

If it makes you feel any better, I’m still convinced things get a little better, a little fairer all the time though sometimes it doesn’t feel that way.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading in old newspaper (they are archived online now and easy to search) and some of the stuff that happened 100 years ago shocks me when I read it, even though I know from history books that things like that happened. The papers reported them like it was no big deal.
