This is Uganda, right? Why is there a zoo? When i was there, various national parks had all the animals roaming in natural settings. The people were in cages (cars). And why a tiger in Africa?

We had lunch again last week. He’s not like the reporter in this piece. He was looking for clues to the truth, not trying to do a hit piece.
This piece is excellent and so depressing.
Over 15 years ago, a reporter asked me why I was at a political corruption trial.
Defendant’s a former student.
Can I take you to lunch?
Sure, but I can’t tell you anything I know about him based on my teacher/student relationship.

Only then can you walk away from an untenable situation without sacrificing your family’s needs. We need to build community safety nets.
