- Its been a year since prisoners were taken in the war in Afghanistan. They're in a legal limbo. They're not prisoners of war. They're not criminals. Then what are they? The US refuses to release them of charge them in court. The international community refuses to step-in. The USA is doing what it does best. It's oppresing innocent people in a schizoid fit of paranoia that can only be made worse by their high-nosed arrogance. UGH!!! Hundreds still suffer in Guatanamo Bay.
- A bit of good news. Illinois Governor George Ryan commuted the sentence of 156 death row inmates. There is still hope for the American people. It's about time they realized their justice system is fallible. It's totally unfair to exact a punishment as harsh as death. The death penalty only serves to feed vicious cycle of violence.
- While everyone else struggles to become more humane, a southern Philippine city is being "cleaned up". No doubt that Davao is now one of the most "peaceful" cities in the country. But at what cost? Disguised as swift justice, people are turning a blind eye to the murder of children. Damn. Some people are so self-righteous, they think they've been given a mandate by God himself.
- In a man's world, if a woman doesn't want sex she's "frigid". If she's vocal about wanting it, she's called a "slut". If she does get it, shrinks think it isn't enough that she enjoys it. She has to have an orgasm. Pretty stupid argument, eh? Well, shrinks have "indentified" (invented is more like it) every sort of disorder you can probably think of. God knows how much money they rake in diagnosing female sexual disorders. And now the pharmaceutical giants have jumped into the fray. It's a gazillion-dollar industry, after all. There's money to be made curing the celibate and the picky. Read along.
More on me next time :-)
