I know. :(
I guess that's what makes me feel so sad.
It seems like there should be something that can be done about it, but the fact is that there isn't. Not in our type of society.
It sometimes makes me despair of solutions anywhere. But then I see rays of hope. Isn't the situation in Ireland getting better? And some other places?
It's a lot harder to change hearts and minds than it is to put the National Guard on the streets.
And of course it goes without saying that here, as well as I'm reasonably sure, there, most people just want to go about their lives in peace and safety.
I can't watch the news too much, or I get horrendously depressed. Not only do there seem to be no easy answers, but all too often it seems there are no answers at all.
