The Saturday Status Report: Signs of American Change

     I followed the white supremacist attack on two Kansas City Jewish Community Centers early this week, noting that the failing, old Klansman charged with the killings failed in even that. All three of his victims were Christians.

     And a day or so after the killings, other white supremacists were distancing themselves from him, saying he is a "raging alcoholic".
  

     You know you are a loser when even your loser friends condemn you.

  
   Coincidentally, the PEW Research folks are out with an interactive report called the "The Next America" that the suspect and his friends (and former friends) will hate. It projects the broadening racial composition of the U.S. between now and 2060. 

One point: 

Between now and 2030, 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 every day.


     And National Geographic earlier this year did its own photo composition, showing what the next inhabitants of the country will look like. 

     The times they are a changing, and there will great opportunities and great dangers ahead. 
     Me? I'm rooting for the new and even better America.
