3. Lovely.

I've only been here a few weeks now, but there seems to be a lot of anti-bullying press at the moment. Too many young suicides. I hope it works.

I wish someone would have stood up for Matthew Shepard.

5. From an old timer who never dreamed anything like this even possible in the western world.

When I was a lad fresh from college, I got a job working for an international architectural firm with offices in Rome. I was sent from there to a satellite office in Libya and later to many other Arab countries. This was in the time of King Idris and just before the coup in Iraq.

In Tripoli, young men walked the streets hand in hand in a bond of friendship. I found similar circumstances in most of the rest of the Arab world.

I thought then, these people live without the shame and guilt the west is forced to live under.

Things have of course changed since those innocent times, as they have been forced by the west, to eat of the apple of "knowledge", (Orwellian for Guilt). KR

Without Guilt and lies, oligarchs, despots and dictators can not enslave.
