International woman's day 2009. What do we do when the scope of violence against women is so unimaginable, so extreme and enormous, that it is beyond our vision? Beyond our realm of thinking?

How is it possible that we live in a world where one doctor has treated 25,000 victims of rape for mutilation and suffering?

For those of us who are safe from the world of the Congo, who are unable to go there, to physically help the thousands of women who are victims of rape as a tactic of war, we read about it. We learn about it. We bear witness to it. So that we can help in other ways. So that we can stop it from ever happening in other places, in future wars. To make rape a tactic of war IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. ANYWHERE.

At least I read it first...

I really didn't know so much could go into one of these little blue boxes. I could crawl in there and spend the whole day reading and listening. I think this is the best clip I've seen yet and it gives me something to aspire too. Thanks Chara, xxxxxxxxxxxcc


PS...I really liked the art towards the end. Last frame perfect, John Lennon, best yet
Overall, visual perfection, turning my world around
