Dear Vatican, Popes, and all the rest:
I have been educating myself about Rwanda and the genocide there in 1994. You have claimed that actions of the individual are not necessarily condoned by Rome. Allowing a priest who fled Rwanda to continue in priestly functions, i.e. work as a priest, in Florence UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME certainly seems like complicity to me. Whether he calls himself Anthanase Seromba or Don Anastasio Sumba Bura, you surely cannot honestly claim not to have known what happened over there in Rwanda before showing up in Florence, Italy. Did you think he fell from the sky? Yeah, he turned himself in to answer charges of perpetrating [perceived] racial [actual] violence and murder. But only under pressure by external sources. Anthanase Seromba is where he belongs-- in a prison in Dabon serving out his life sentence for genocide and extermination. No thanks to any of you.
No Love,
radical sapphoq

No I didn't die
I've been one of the clone-drones participating in Linden Lab's SecondLife:
http://www.secondlife.com/
where indeed there are political discussions and pretty much everything else in the virtual world as there is in real life. There is even a group or two who protest the rampant consumerism that exists in SecondLife. Anonymous is there, replete with flying phantom boxes and pictures of old men getting it on with other old men and bedsores. Anonymous has land there on SecondLife (no I won't say where. Let's just say that as a bisexual woman, I am willing to ignore the ribbing of gays and feminists because I support Anonymous when it comes to Scientology.) A.A. meetings are there. So is an active Aspie community as well as some t.b.i. survivors.
A brief synopsis of what I think about some of the current events going on:
1. It appalls me that President Bush welcomed the Pope with such open arms. Used to be that fundamentalist Christians were equating the Pope and the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church with such things like the Beast, the mark of the Beast, and going to hell. Okay, so politically the President couldn't snub the Pope I suppose. But did Bush really have to go pick up the Pope himself? On the plus side, as far as I know, no rounds of golf were shared by the two of them during the Pope's stateside visit.
2. I am sorry that the government is giving most of us a rebate check because the country is in financial debt. On the other hand, I could use the money. Anyone who really hates the idea is welcome to send me their cash.
3. I am weary of the Clinton/Obama run-off. I want them to get it over with and just pick whoever is going to run on the democratic ticket. And I am not convinced that the country will be better off with either of those two as president (if the Democrats "win.") I mean, some folks wanted a Democrat-controlled Congress. So far I haven't seen any great things come out of this Congress.
4. I hate VESID.
