I cry for Robin, too. His suicide is a shock. I'm also amazed and hurt for what's going on in the Middle East, parts of Africa, and the tens of thousands of children without their parents, who are coming into the US as refugees. But in my elder years, I have to face the fact that nothing political is new on the face of the earth. I do what I can to save and protect. I donate, I vote, I send petitions, I call my elected officials, I march.
