19. It isn't like this is someplace in bumfck Africa.
Not that there is an excuse to beguile humanity of any stripe.
The thing is this:
we have all walked these streets. Met these people.
Dined with them, shared drinks, laughed with them, enjoyed their music. These people ARE us.
I am too far away to help. All we can do is hope they will be OK.
