Default Anger At Foolishness & Ignorance
Partially a vent but...

This story: Afghanistan: Imprisoned Rape Victim Freed

Upsets me. And to think that the President of her country actually feels he has the right and power to pardon her? Are you kidding me? Disappointed. And now she has to marry him? Another key aspect ticks me off. The idea that fundamentalism and flat perceptions would be used as justification. Heart breaking.

How many centuries will it take before we evolve? At what point will we as a people grow up and wake up. Oh my family...

Well yes, these kind of messages remind us that humanity is in very many respects a monkey tribe. Which evolutionary makes lots of sense, really.... If anyone wanted a proof of the theory of evolution. It is right here. We need to live with the knowledge that we are monkeys with an add-on capacity of doing a bit of reasoning sometimes..... And as soon as we are in even the smallest amount of distress the monkey takes over.

Hopefully we'll get past all the superficial bs and see our own oneness and equality sooner than later. *smh*

I was upset that they even think she's suppose to marry him, that she was ever in jail in the first place and that the President even thinks he had the right to "pardon" her when she did nothing wrong in the first place.

Would you prefer it if the president didn't pardon her but just ignored the affair?

That's a good point Brutha and I thought about that. I'm upset that it even got to that point in the first place. Yes, $hyt happens. But the fact that she was even put in jail in the first place upsets me. I understand that he'd have to pardon her in order for her to get out but the idea that people actually believed it was good and right for her to be there is upsetting.
