murdered women are sold...

Police found the bodies of seven youths in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. They showed signs of torture, and were found inside a car on this city's poor north side, and they apparently were killed by gang members from a rival shantytown.

22-year-old Nick Wallis, who has muscular dystrophy, had hoped to experience sex before he died. After telling staff at the Douglas House hospice in Oxford of his wish, they decided to help him, according to a report in London's Daily Telegraph.

A ring of gangsters who traded in the bodies of women they murdered, selling them as brides to keep dead bachelors happy in the afterlife, has been arrested in China.

Those were the headlines for today. I'm happy I don't live in China. It seems that the body of a dead woman is worth a lot more then if that woman is still alive. According to the shocking story I read, women are killed and then sold to families who want a "ghost" wife for their deceased, unmaried, sons. The murdered woman is maried to their son, and then placed next to him in his grave. Of course, this does not happen on a large scale, but it did happen, and the murderer is arrested and awaits the death penalty. Not only is this horrible, it also illustrates that the 1 child policy in China, is failing. Parents prefere to have a boy instead of a girl, so there are loads of Chinese boys who are not maried. But they still need a wife after they have died to be comfortable.

The people who are taking care for Nick Wallis were far more civilized. They helped him to have sex before he is going to die of muscular dystrophy. They arranged for him to have a visit from a prostitute. The remarkable thing here was not that a sex worker would help a physical handicaped person. No, that is nothing special. Happens more often then you think, and as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing wrong with that. It's a far better option then killing women, don't you agree? No, the remarkable factor was that his care takers were working for a Roman Catholic hospice. The nuns said, and I'm so happy to hear that, that they were there to take care for both his mentally and physical needs, and that it wasn't up to them to make any moral judgements with regards to Nick's needs. Could only everyone be so understanding as the people who are working in that hospice. The world would be a far more better place.

But, as usual, I really, really don't care whatever you do, for whatever reason, as long as you don't forget to love a soldier. And... don't forget to say YES to Hillary as president. The U.S.A. needs a woman's touch. Love, Jenifer. bloomjenifer@yahoo.co.uk
