Human Rights

Today bloggers are united in writing about human rights. What a great idea! Blogging about such a topic is a powerful way to bring it to the forefront. We in America have it pretty lucky--we will never know the ravages that people in some other countries have to put up with. Some of the human rights violations are just incomprehensible. But we are not totally absolved here--we have the death penalty, which is also a human rights violation. I look forward to the day when we do not have that punishment anymore. And I think that day will be here sooner than we think.
