Thank you for this thoughtful and informative article, Nini.

We are all certainly capable of more violence than we want to believe. What's the saddest truth about America is how much violence worldwide we have decided we are okay with being complicit in (as in our bullying foreign and hawkish war policies). Violence perpetrated on victims far away from us is still violence.

I join you in the hope that we can get through this next little while peacefully.
