A black kid that is a slave in the sudan is killed. By a muslim of all things. well after all he was a christian so what does it matter? Its just a region where abuse, murder,starvation and suppression of all rights is the rule. I wonder how much money kofi makes off the area. Maybe he gets a percentage of the slave trade.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four than you do with just a kind word.
Religious whackos and criminals come in all varieties and faiths:
The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA)[1], formed in 1987, is a rebel paramilitary group operating mainly in northern Uganda. The group is engaged in an armed rebellion against the Ugandan government in what is now one of Africa's longest-running conflicts. It is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself a spirit medium, and apparently wishes to establish a state based on his unique interpretation of Biblical millenarianism.
The LRA have been accused of widespread human rights violations, including mutilation, torture, rape, the abduction of civilians, the use of child soldiers and a number of massacres.

I think its kind of macabre to keep a comparative tally of right wing vs. left wing deaths.
A massacre is a massacre.
Also I dobut Cypress loves Pol Pot or Mao Tse Tung.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
Hey damo that warning should be posted with a number of the posters on here.
