The fate of Indian little girls being prostituted and to temple masters and then banished because they're not "pure" anymore when it wasn't their doing in the first place; the fate of little colombian kids handling firearms from age 5 onword and paid to kill; the fate of stolen babies to be sold to rich people who found no other mean to have a baby and to whom adoption was refused.... <BR/><BR/>So many to name. We talk about it all, they show it all on the Tv, you donate money to help make things right. Yet, they do not seem to change. They seem to worsen.<BR/><BR/>I sometimes wonder at the absurdity of violence. It's unexplainable. <BR/><BR/>The Ugandan issue is just senseless. Then it isn't really when you consider what its all about finally. POWER.<BR/><BR/><BR/>FitènaFatmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574337624177445967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13891711.post-1134360020485299612005-12-11T20:00:00.000-08:002005-12-11T20:00:00.000-08:00And at times of happiness, I wonder why it is that...And at times of happiness, I wonder why it is that I think about killing myself around 50% of days...Luridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396710898271581310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13891711.post-1134282536245341672005-12-10T22:28:00.000-08:002005-12-10T22:28:00.000-08:00Heard about this in a poli sci class I took in col...Heard about this in a poli sci class I took in college. I need to read up on it though, especially the LRA. What they want seems to make no sense, especially given the means they use to bring it about. The LRA claims to want a society based on the ten commandments, but to achieve this end they abduct children and sell many into sex slavery. Senseless. <BR/><BR/>But the thing is, the Ugandan government is little better than the rebels. Only a couple years ago, the Ugandan government attempted to forcibly disarm the pastoral people of northern Uganda. This involved burning villages, looting, rape, and murder. And these people only wanted to protect their cattle.<BR/><BR/>It's illegal for the people of Uganda to arm themselves for their protection, not only from the LRA but from their own government. So in effect, what you have are people who are totally exposed and at the mercy of the predators all around them.<BR/><BR/>I know it sounds like a simple answer to a complex question, but arm the people. Let the people have a means to defend themselves again.<BR/><BR/>But I should read more.<BR/><BR/>-Suleysuleymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902073486054174225noreply@blogger.com
