Sorry I am so late.<br /><br />Mankind's cruelty is never-ending it seems. :-(<br /><br />Alex:<br />When blood is spilled and extreme measures taken, it only leads to more bloodshed. Shame.<br /><br />Elephant's Child:<br />It is easy to despair when you look upon situations like these, isn't it?<br /><br />Gandhi wrote:<br />“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”<br /><br />D.G.:<br />Saying what I have of Ferguson has cost me followers. Sigh.

And I am usually saddened by what I learn!!Roland D.

There is always fault on both sides, often weighing more heavily on one than the other. But fault sharing does not make it any less of a tragedy.
