NO to so much that is going on. Every day the stories of people in nightmarish situations in Mumbai, New York. Innocent black women and men shot. HIGH LEVEL crimes, misdemeanors, cruelty, callousness, ego, greed, power playing, on display from those who should be leading - in the U.S., U.K., India. Despicable.
