Happy Human rights day
“Human Rights day is celebrated to promote the universal human right: to live and to do so peacefully. Some of the world’s occupants have this right suppressed [e.g. the right to equality]. This day was declared to raise awareness of our rights, and of those who are deprived of these rights.”
Are we Americans living up to our self image as a beacon of freedom and humanity in a troubled world? Do we model the Christian virtues of peace, justice and compasion that we brag about so loudly?

Who cares they chop off our heads, and hang our burnt bodies from bridges. If I had the choice I’d rather have a cut on my leg and stripped down naked anyday.

They are one in the same, and I think I know who it is. No clues from me, though.
Thanks again Mr. Don Shock ‘n Awe….we need to be reminded.
I’m w/Mat(5) & Nancy(2). I am a naturalized American and the thought that I would have to put my head down in shame NEVER crossed my mind.
