Image by Lawrence OP via Flickr Kindly note : Although the author of the following blog has targeted the Church of Rome, it is not the only Established Church historically complicit in abuse of children - notably 'Native Schools'.The Catholic, Anglican and United Church , and the government of Canada, operated the schools and hospitals where these mass graves are located. We therefore hold these institutions and their officers legally responsible and liable for the deaths of these children.
We have no confidence that the very institutions of church and state that are responsible for these deaths can conduct any kind of impartial or real inquiry into them. Accordingly, as of April 15, 2008, we are establishing an independent, non-governmental inquiry into the death and disappearance of Indian residential school children across Canada .
Image via WikipediaThis inquiry shall be known as The International Human Rights Tribunal into Genocide in Canada (IHRTGC), and is established under the authority of the following hereditary chiefs, who shall serve as presiding judges of the Tribunal:
Hereditary Chief Kiapilano of the Squamish Nation
Chief Louis Daniels (Whispers Wind), Anishinabe Nation Chief Svnoyi Wohali (Night Eagle), Cherokee Nation
Lillian Shirt, Clan Mother, Cree Nation
Elder Ernie Sandy, Anishinabe (Ojibway) Nation
Hereditary Chief Steve Sampson, Chemainus Nation

Voiceless Victim
Show A Little Respect
Regular readers of this blog may have noticed I refuse to address Joseph Ratzinger with the respect and titles he demands of his mindless minions.
My favourite alternatives include: Ratzo, Pope Rat, Pope Nazi, Benny the Rat, Herr Ratzinger, B16, Protector of the Paedophiles, Monarch of the Paedophiles, His Greediness, His Wealthiness, the occupant of the best room in the Vatican, power obsessed narcissist, and rich old man who likes to play dress ups and has an out of control God complex.
I will be happy to give him respect. The minute he deserves any.
True respect must be earned.
Neither the man himself, his actions or his position at the head of a criminal organisation currently qualify for true respect.
The other sort of “respect” is simply the cowardly giving in to pressure from a bully. That is what I refuse to do.
Of course Catholic apologists will be shrieking by now about “good works”. As if helping a little old lady across the street makes child rape acceptable. It does not. It can not. Ever.
Image via WikipediaIn fact good works and abuse of power often go hand in hand, with the former is used to disguise, excuse and deflect criticism of the latter. By unthinking apologists of totalitarian regimes. Like the Catholic Church.
One way Ratzo can earn some respect would be to show respect to victims of child sexual abuse by the priests, brothers, bishops, cardinals and others who swear an oath of obedience to him.
Child Sexual Abuse Victims Abandoned by their Families
I have discovered a disturbing thing about children abused by Catholic Church sponsored sexual predators.
I’ve met a lot of other victims recently and heard their histories, each one shocking in its own way. Each victim has their own twist of the knife that makes their story truly heart wrenching, something you’ve never heard of before, something that makes you forget your own pain for a while and wish that this wonderful person you are talking to had never had to suffer in this way.

An element that turns up, unexpectedly, in each tale. Each in its own way, quite unique.
The complicity of the Catholic parents.
( Now I might expect some of you think I am 'anti Christian' because I cover such a story in such a way. You might notice first that I do not shy away from 'The Road to Hell Being Paved With Good Intentions' at the best of times. But if you really 'care for my soul' I might as well 'alarm you properly'...and trust you realize that for a joke which happens to be in poor taste only for those who assume they are designated and/or qualified to sit in the Seat of Judgment themselves.

Being Human
"Just being alive is an extraordinary piece of good luck." (or the very best pieces from Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
Why do we not mind swimming in a sea of randomness?
Is it possible to live pleasantly without living wisely and honorably and justly?

Government recommends lowering fluoride levels in U.S. drinking water
( Make that 'standardizing' fluoride levels. Such 'responsible journalism'.)
An overwhelming amount of medical information is building against fluoride, the industrial pollutant being added to our drinking water.
