Why Are We Here? The body of Christian Peacemaker Team activist Tom Fox was found today in Iraq. Evidence suggests he was tortured and assassinated. This message was composed the day before he was abducted. We are here to stand with those being dehumanized by oppressors and stand firm against that dehumanization. We are here to stop people, including ourselves, from dehumanizing any of God's children, no matter how much they dehumanize their own souls. more inside

Anonymous George: Transgendered, Can't Find Work Hi, folks, fellow simians. I was intersexed at birth and was surgically "corrected" and pronounced a boy.
