I read a year or two ago that the tree had either died or been damaged and had to be removed - this was the first time I'd been back since. Its roots are still entangled between the headstones.

The moment we begin to see such a procedure as anything other than a fundamental breach of civilization and only individual cases cause us to lose our temper for a moment because we feel they are unjust, we have already fallen into the trap of not fundamentally questioning the violent abuses.
Got it backwards.
Cruelty leads to incompetence.
Hate addles the brain. On average, subscribing to bigotry costs a person a third of their cognitive capacity.

I was literally locked in a mall at one point, though I made sure it did not last overnight.
I was in the restroom at closing time and someone locked the restroom door without bothering to check if anyone was in there, so I was trapped. After beating on the door and yelling with no response, I turned to plan B: I took a lighter out of my purse, made a wand out of toilet paper, lit the end of the wand and held it up to one of the overhead srpinklers. The firemen let me out.
