House of horrors...

A huge avalanche knocked two cars off a mountain pass Saturday, on the main highway to one of Colorado's largest ski areas, shortly after crowds headed through on the way to the lifts.

The gruesome tale of India’s “house of horrors”, a serial murder case that has transfixed the nation for a week, took an intriguing twist yesterday, when forensic scientists investigating the killing of at least 17 people in an upmarket Delhi suburb, prepared to apply truth serum, sodium penthanol, to the two prime suspects.

Momofuku Ando, the Japanese inventor of instant noodles, a dish that has kept me alive for a long, long time, has died. And who said that instant noodles are not good for your health? He was 96 year old when he died.

Those were the headlines for today. I knew of course what was happening in India, the serial killing of children and all of that, but I didn't mention it as I thought that other things were more important. Oh boy, was I wrong. Why, well there are several very interesting points to make here.

1. Although the missing children were reported to the police, they didn't do anything. The house owner was rich and influential, and the children were poor.

2. It looks that the organs of the victems where harvested. Police are now investigating a medical doctor as well with regards to this case. It's very noble of people to offer a kidney or any other part of their body to help people in need. It's morally wrong to pay a poor person to offer his organs for transplantation. But to kill, and not just one person, but loads of them, for this purpose is macabre.

3. Police is using "Truth serum" to find out if more people have been killed. The same article went on telling that other interogation methods would be used as well, for about 3 days in a row. This looks like that the police decided to start using methods which are illegal, and any evidence gathered will not be admissable in court. This would mean that in any western country, just by using these interogation tactics, the murderers would be free within days. Nice country India.

And lets all be quiet for 1 minute. The inventor of instant noodles has died. He died at age 96, so my guess is that living on a diet of instant noodles can get you very old.

But, as usual, I don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget to love a soldier. Love, Jenifer Bloom. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
