@ryanjess77 Yes, I definitely support that! But how can crimes against #humanity be classified? Can you really draw up a ‘Top Ten’ of #crimes against humanity? With all due respect and sympathy for the victims of the past, it is a disgrace that crimes against humanity, including #slavery, still exist today – right now, at this very moment. WHY? Why can the ‘crown of creation’ fly to Mars, but not learn from its mistakes? That is a fundamental question that I will probably never understand!
