I get I can do things to make things not as bleak for myself and those closest to me, but I don't think it's right, to be just okay with that when so many others will suffer, and I can do nothing to stop it. I voted, I donated, I tried to share what I've learned, and it didn't help. The human race always seems to go 20 steps forward then takes 50 steps backwards.
