I've got to dart here in a little bit to head out to the market but I wanted to peek in and say I'm alive. I'm slowly catching up on everything net-wise. At the moment, I'm scanning through CNN news online. I came across this article. Yeah, I admit it... I want the son of a bitch to go. Anyone who would do something so horrendous to a child just makes me sick. That poor girl. Then, of course, there's the case of the man who microwaved his infant. And the wife? She wants him and the child back. What is going on in this world? A man in San Francisco bit off his wife's lower lip after she called him short. And that's simply how he justifies it. A man in New York has been arrested for being, well, a fake veterinarian and operating upon at least fifteen different animals. Maybe the world has always been host to such violence and cruelty but shouldn't we, at a certain point, be able to stand up and say enough is a enough?
Hm. Anyway, I'm heading to the market. Bye kids!

I stumbled across this via Netscape and I found myself staring at my monitor in sheer horror. It's a trailer for a documentary about Father Oliver O'Grady, the most notorious pedophile in the history of the modern Catholic Church. It has interviews from him and footage of the official inquiries about what he had done to his, what can only be in the hundreds, of victims. It will be released on the thirteenth and I am fully planning on being there opening day (that is, if I can find a local theater that will have it).
Harming a child is one thing that I cannot stomach. I am a firm believer that anyone who so grotesquely hurts a child should suffer the most painfully severe punishment that society has to offer. What sickens me the most is the fact that he was a man whom they all trusted. He was supposed to be a man of God! What the hell is wrong with this sick little simian?! In fact, he seems to lack any remorse, as do the priests involved in the inquiry.
I could go on forever but I've got to take a shower and head off the bed. I've any early morning at Farmer's Market tomorrow.
