Re: “U.S. terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world” (Feb. 27, Nation & World):
Over the previous yr, together with the run-up to the election and after, I’ve been capable of maintain a spot of equanimity. I used to be not shocked by the outcomes of the election. I stayed calm. I advocated for the change I needed and didn’t obsess over my disagreement with the brand new administration’s actions.
That ended once I learn the article containing a protracted listing of america Company for Worldwide Improvement initiatives being terminated. I fell aside!
I used to be in Colombia, South America, in 1968 when the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy have been assassinated inside months of one another. My associates there requested me to elucidate how/why that might occur within the USA. I had no clarification then … and I’ve no clarification now.
My coronary heart is damaged.
