I think this image and its accompanying text are stupid and deceitful. Still, there must be plenty of deluded folks out there who think this Time cover is poignant and timely. I'm not one of them.
My step-daughter subscribes to Time. This particular issue arrived at our house on a day when I'd already read some things about Michael Brown and the rioters in Ferguson which indicated that they were less than justified in their actions, to put it mildly.
Maybe I should have read the agit-prop inside that issue of Time, for the sake of fairness. (That's the residue of my cultural brainwashing talking.) I couldn't make myself do it.
