Blogs are for ranting right?
A lot of what I hear on the radio on my way to and from work centers around torture. Did it happen? When? Who did it, and for how long? Where was it happening? I’m sick of hearing about potentially tortured, potential terrorists.
At least there might be reason to believe that these people did something wrong.
Do you hear about sex trafficking or abortion? That’s been happening for a long freakin time. There are obvious atrocity’s taking place right in front of us, some of which is legal. And all I hear about on the news is people whining about human rights for the “20th Hijkacker“.
I don’t know what these prisoners have done. Whether they are innocent and being held anyways, or if they have intent to kill people in the name of Allah. If I was innocent and got tortured anyhow, I’d be pissed for sure.
The point however, is that people who are explicitly innocent are being slaughtered with vacuums and forceps every single day. Girls young and old are being beaten and raped, gagged and dehumanized at all hours of the day and night. Not just in India or Burma but here in the States. People are paying for all of this.
There is a demand, therefore somebody has the supply.
Can we get our priorities straight? Stop being so desensitized about all of this! This world is full of crap and there is no getting around that for now. But that doesn’t mean we just tollerate it. Don’t allow yourself the luxury of being numb to all of this pain. Think about about it. Get angry.

Hey James,
Do I know you?
Thank you for your comment. I have gotten that on twitter from someone already – and I was just stopped in my tracks.
I’m mulling over a follow up post in my head. One that is much more thought out and Gospel centered.
Again, thank you.
