Being bored is the price we pay for not being insane.

...These mothers had made the dangerous journey to America with their children because they knew that the danger of staying in their home country was even worse. They have the legal right to seek asylum, but when they arrive, we call them criminals. We treat them like criminals. That is not the sign of a civil society, nor is it a sign of compassion.
Kamala Harris, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey
