I spent more than two years in Sydney and a couple months in Melbourne and loved the Aussie ways! People seemed more laid-back there, and I did not experience any racist glimpse. Sydney, in particular, was and still is very multicultural and peaceful. The violence in a small town south of Sydney, called Cronulla, struck me as a shocking development. Sydney is definitely one of the most livable places on earth. What's going on in our world?

Tribalism? Racism? Ethnocentricism? Ignorance? Justice? Respect?
What's to blame? Who's to blame? What can we do to stop this destructive trend that is echoed around the world? France? Holland? Indonesia? Thailand? .....

STOP rage and violence, people!
