Rape Victim's words Jolt Congo - NY Times October 17, 2008

This is a difficult story to read. I realize the difficulty lies in me (us), for the way we all have left this level of inhumanity up to others to take care of.
I went to see the movie "W" today. True to his words, Oliver Stone has not created a film that's driven by cheap shots.
I came away with an interesting feeling.
The movie was not about "W", but more about us. How we work to develop our democracy and how we often times, just let things happen. "Things" that affect the very fabric of our humanity.
We live in a time of "Talk Radio Show Consciousness" and that continues to divide us.
Interesting to me, that radio has always been a tremendous influencer of culture and beliefs. In fact, like the telegraph, radio was an early technology signal for safety when people are in trouble.
