It's a shame that there are still so many barbaric, uncivilized peoples in this world. Perhaps the fact that the world can instantly know about it now can help to first make them accountable, then continue to change these sickening types of behavior. I mean, how can any human calculate that getting visits from the opposite sex is worse than horrific, brutal murder?

Note there is no mention of any repercussions for the boy? Not that I think there should be repercussions for either of them, but it galls me that the focus is on the girl alone because too often it is the woman who bears the weight of the wrath of those who are against what is done.

Because by their laws, women are second class citizens.

It disgusts me.

H/T to www.teapartyday.com


On April 15, be part of the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party rally in your
community.

On the day you pay your taxes, Wednesday, April 15, join others across
the country and in your hometown who will be participating in TEA party
rallies in front of their city halls.


The TEA party rally will begin at 12 noon.

See this video - the momentum is growing:


www.onenewsnow.com/vidPlayer.aspx?videoId=11735


Ask Yourself:

Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:

- vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it?

- are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-
grandchildren will be paying?

- consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to
help get themselves re-elected?

- want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?

- punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward
those who do not?

- admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push
their political agenda?

- run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such
as China?

- want government controlled health care?

- want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?

- refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?

- appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the
Justice Department?

- want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?

- want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating
fuels?

- want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?

- take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?



If so, participate in the TEA party rally, the Taxed Enough Already (TEA)
party.



Bring your cell phone and call Congress and the president while attending
the TEA party rally.

Tell Every American about this effort by forwarding this invitation to your
friends.

Together we can make a difference.

Sounds cool. People banding together for a common cause. Just remember to have your versions of the budget ready to submit when you gather to complain. The president has given out his email address for any citizen who is not satisfied with any of his policies, and is eager to have your input. Any ideas that are better are the ones that will win, even if not right away.

Surely a nice gesture BBO, but completely impossible to keep upon. So a guess a nice gesture is all that can be.

Mygh, I don't understand what you mean by impossible to keep upon. And what can be impossible about asking people who are completely against policies to make suggestions as to how it can work, explain how the proposals put forth are wrong and what is the right answer? I've never had much success in things by just complaining without some suggestions and ideas to do it, as I see, correctly.
This is the first president to have this transparent and open of a policy to connect with. I suggest we use it to the fullest of our capacities, especially when we see something as inherently wrong. Never have had the opportunity to do that before.

You have heard the old Boston song: More than a gesture. :-)

I sincerely hope he chooses to address some hard questions.

That would certainly help to get him some "cred."

Taking the softball questions helps no one.

Just sayin.' :oops:

Isn't it more than a feeling :P (I seem to have the album somewhere in my Cd's 8)

I mean the amount of email they likely recieve makes the task highly improbable and not worst the cost of sifting through the filth.
