What's Going On?

I'd been out of state for a few days at an amazing conference to train young folks to be activists and leaders in the reproductive justice and reproductive health fields, without any real access to news, and come back to find the world has quickly spiraled even further into horribleness:

• Children trying to escape rape and murder in Central America treated like refuse by American citizens
• A Malaysian plane with AIDS research experts shot out of the sky by pro-Russian people in Ukraine using a missile launcher from Russia
• Hundreds of Palestinian children and families in Gaza murdered by Israeli military

What the hell is going on?

Haven't we, as a species, learned anything?  Don't we know that we have to live on this planet together, and that what we put out into the world comes back to us?
