No Weekend Music edition tonight. I spent the day at a legal forum in which various legal responses to terrorism were discussed. Some of the discussion was quite informative, and others less so. But that all sort of faded next to the reminder that I got of the fact that so many people (in power and otherwise) have long since stopped understanding the human costs of their actions.
This is James’ Hey Ma. I warn you – it’s not an easy thing to watch.
