 ‘Kony 2012′ filmmaker arrested in San Diego | The Envoy - Yahoo! News

I hope this is not a ploy to discredit a worthy cause, no matter how old it is.  It is still a cause, and there is still a need to stay abreast of it.  Whatever the accused was doing, the accuser had to be in the same place to see it.  So maybe he or she was doing it too.   This really smells like a dead rat.

I wonder why, since priests love boys! When will that hypocrisy end. Oh, I forgot: by the time the church stops molesting boys.

Forgiveness, what a hard saying it is

http://gma.yahoo.com/ohio-school-shooting-victims-parents-forgive-suspected-shooter-161435847--abc-news.html

Contrast:  This is the "Way" of  the Master Jesus Christ, not the way of Jehovah.  You can't put new wine into old skins (Matthew 9:17).  This great mom leaves the door open for the guilty to repent and "turn, so I should heal them."  She refuses to be bound to the guilty by keeping his guilt bound to her unforgiveness.  If he sits in prison for a lifetime, he is still free - she forgave him!  She freed him, she released him.  She finds honor in her son's honor.  There is a highway out of sin (the word some people hate) that blinds our eyes and hardens our hearts: "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them"  (John 12:40).  In order words, forgive them.

It took tremendous pain to say "I forgive," contrary to what some might believe.  Every family here knows this pain, every day in their own way they must in some way have to say I forgive by just moving from one foot to the other foot, straight ahead.  That pain feels like one stops breathing yet keeps on breathing and must keep on. On a last note, those who usually leave in tragedies of any kind or just plain lie down to sleep, or those maimed by tragedy, are most always the most promising, the most noble, and the most needed among humankind on this planet, like all of the young people honored here.  However, as Mrs. Ferguson said, "It's in God's hands. Let his will be done."  God knows why all the things that must be, must be - however senseless and seemingly useless they may be.  Peace

Protecting Women and Their Children Around the World

You got me to thinking. I think you ask too much of people unless you are addressing the countries under the umbrella of this type of abuse. It's like telling another person to run someone else's house instead of his or her own. If you think this through, you might get a little insight into why some dignitaries hesitate rather than go against another dignitary as a Rambo of some type. That's why there is the word "diplomacy," which not a lot of people have competence in. All abuse is unlike the Golden Rule and does the opposite of what it would do if carried out. Everyone is responsible for it but not for someone else's responsibility for carrying it out. That is why we work together trying to reason and persuade others that wrong is wrong, period. However, if I were to go get a weapon and kill someone who killed someone else, etc., who would be the wronged and the wrongdoer. Both I say. If we got with the people of those places and raised our voices with them, then possibly we could be their help, i.e., bring about changes enacted by laws.

Protecting Women and Their Children Around the World

True. Except for the kinds of people mentioned, we need people ethically powerful enough to change things for battered people. Some people really do not believe that this subject is dire enough to justify 100% protection of victims, women or children. My experience has been that authorities cared more for the abuser than the victim. That was a first-hand glimpse into what too many courts and the justice system officials really think of battered women and/or their children's conditions. Usually before someone gets up off the pot, innocent people have to be killed for them to have proof enough to justify really intervening. Otherwise, it's mostly a spat or maybe you could be wrong, perhaps. No help can come from these kinds of perceptions of what people really suffer.

U.S. breakthrough(?) with North Korea still not good enough

U.S. announces diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea | The Envoy - Yahoo! News

"They said" they got these concessions but that's stll not enough; therefore, the promised aid is just that - promised.  First, though, the other guy must do some more feats before it is good enough to carry out the agreement if it wants receive its prize.  Wonder what will the powers that be offer Iran if anything?  Oh, I forgot, the powers gave Iran and its people sanctions, with more possible one in the wing!

By the way, if we have so much "food" aid to feed other countries we bribe to get something we want, why don't we feed our own kids and grownups who need to take care of their kids?  For all those who gripe about the poor people in this country - why not gripe to those who are not poor and run these kinds of activities.  That is the fair and just way, not blaming the poor for being poor (who maybe at some point in their existence was not poor).  We even have ministries in America trying to "feed the hungry" - in America.  Yet, we can give all those pounds of food to others to have our way or have something to hold over their heads while we try to have our way. 

Israel Publicizes it might attack Iran and keep it secret from U.S.

Israel Probably Won't Tell the U.S. If It's Going to Attack Iran - Yahoo! News

Granted, Israel might be out of its mind because it cannot have its way it thinks.  Therefore it pouts.  However, don't you think it very unwise to broadcast a possible strike against Iran and expect Iran to be unaware, unprepared, and intimidated?  Israel, please let Lebanon be a lesson to you.  Israel thought it would wipe out its "enemy" in a day or maybe two, but it was wrong.  Israel hit a snag, and that snag is still in existence.  If Israel uses its nuclear weapons openly out of sheer frustration or swagger, lo! the world will know it really does have them, which it denies.  Oh, may Israel use common sense and stop badgering and browbeating its friends.
