Re: how many nine-elevens take place ...
everyone at some point in life, realizes that the societal belonging into an ingroup or out group on the basis of religious, ethnic, and nationalistic roots of origins, does not really mean much when the very roots becomes anti-survival (meant in the way of wold peace and interpersonal equity practiced in interactions as 'human beings').
so regardless of what the state of the solidarities and convictions might be, the one true thing which brings people together is the culture of humanity.
hope you would agree.
