things will have to get better. However, the way they will improve is not going
to be because of the government or the elite leadership, or the political leadership,
or the institutions of our country, most of which have actually crumbled. It will

because they have had to struggle to fend for themselves at every level.

to build confidences between themselves.
the

come together; and it can be the only place where there can be a melting pot.
