You know, not too long ago, someone compared the current situation, meaning the peaceful protesting, to a casserole dish with a piece of cling wrap stretched over the top. They said that the dish below was just slowly simmering, but getting hotter. It was just a matter of time until the heat from within created enough pressure to blow holes in the cling wrap on top. At that point, the hot food inside would blow out through the holes in the top and become like hot lava, spilling from a heated volcano, impossible to stop, at that point.

For some convoluted reason, that made complete sense to me and I've been thinking of that analogy ever since. Strange how we continually recall things like that as we watch these situations play out.

Thanks, Ebon.
