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.

Anonymous George: Transgendered, Can't Find Work Hi, folks, fellow simians. I was intersexed at birth and was surgically "corrected" and pronounced a boy. Unfortunately for me, I'm actually a girl, and am just getting around to correcting this problem at age 29-30.
