Because the pro-human rights side can use all the help it can get...

But I'll refrain from tooting my own horn though lol.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are very kind and you have made me smile. A good deed and much needed.


Often it's felt like a cry in the wilderness and prompted some very negative emotions. Dismay, frustration, shock, self-doubt, anger, loss of faith. Sorrow mainly. I could not understand why people weren't seeing what I saw so clearly. Now they are beginning to and it honestly brings me no satisfaction. It's too late. The best we can hope for now is a quick end to the slaughter/genocide and the thwarting of the planned ethnic cleansing. But still, it will take decades to try to heal this people. Deep trauma wounds, family killed and everything they knew, remembered, treasured - gone. The same fate that befell another people in yet another bitter irony that goes unrecognized... Why is it so hard to see?
