To Never...Mar 21st, 2007 - 10:47:16

These are hideous crimes. Religious beliefs are worth nothing when they are used as a reason to murder such innocents. The perpetrators of these acts deserve no less than life in prison without ever having their freedoms restored. It is a mockery of true human justice to do no less. Perhaps, people will have their hands severed for stealing, yet, their heads will not roll for beheading others. Will people that live under this kind of system ever realize how obviously uncivilized they surely are? They are no better than the irreligious, who have committed some of the world’s worst atrocities.

One individual cannot do enough to weather the coming storm of violent, morally inept ways that threaten those in the struggle for the pursuit of peace.

I admire in the deepest way those who have suffered, and died, trying to put an end to such terrible conduct. To never forsake hope, to never give up dreams, to empathize with the downtrodden, to rise against injustice, to try again and again to heal the wounds of war, these are the pursuits that every upright man and woman may seek to obtain. Mere words can never be enough…
