Well, yes, there's that, too. But where you went to high school and where you live currently aren't always the same, so I think both questions get asked. At least, I get asked both all the time.

I haven't been to any of the protests. There was a false alarm across the street from my office building (in a different part of the area than Ferguson), and I could see it out my window. That's the closest I've been. But, then I've been out of town most of the past couple weeks for Mizzou recruitment.

I'm still praying for peace, and hoping that this advances the discussion on some serious issues locally. However, based on the kinds of things I see on my FB wall, I am afraid all that is happening is for the wedge to be driven even deeper.
