The Fever

Just got back from watching Wallace Shawn's The Fever at the acorn on theater row. Very intense, and worth going to, imho. Privilege, responsibility, closing yourself off to what goes into everything that is part of your life (or opening yourself to it), turning the lights on the audience literally and figuratively. Making you think about how you spend the time you have in this life.

And in case you want a little more evidence that texas is, um, in need of attention:

DALLAS - In a case that has renewed questions about the quality of Texas justice, a man who spent 10 years behind bars for the rape of a boy has become the 12th person in Dallas County to be cleared by DNA evidence.

That is more DNA exonerations than in all of California, and more than in Florida, too. In fact, Dallas County alone has more such cases than all but three states — a situation one Texas lawmaker calls an "international embarrassment."

Hmm, ya think?
