Death By Bullying, Guilty til Innocent.

This is terrible, sad, angering... This is a Care2 article about Another Teenage Suicide, due to bullying. Many a bullies will use various tactics like singling out a "weak" person from the herd, or psycho-terrorism, or physical intimidation. What ever they do, it's emotional abuse of one of the worst kinds, because kids need to belong in their environment. Growing up is hard enough, without the terrors of bullying. One of these days, maybe Youth Voice Initiative will take this topic down.

In the mean time, please keep signing the Federal April's Law Petition to ensure that legal pedophile websites are shut down, and we protect our children from sex predators on and offline. Here is a companion petition to go with, it's the April's Law Wisconsin state version. Just remember, bullying can happen online, also, and our youth are vulnerable to adults preying on them.

Please also keep signing the Sean's Voice Petition for our abused men, who still don't have enough safe places of shelter, nor do they have the support or services needed to become survivors. This petition is dedicated in memory of Baby Sean, who died at the hands of his mother. This same woman physically abused Sean's father, and had him arrested for trying to leave with his precious children. Sean was abused simply because he was a boy. We would never arrest a woman trying to leave abuse with her children, so why do we leave the children with abusers to arrest the father trying to protect his son?

Another disturbing article is about a man who is Puerto Rican who seems to be Guilty Until Proven Innocent. I realize that illegal immigration is a big problem in certain areas of this country. But shoot, he IS a legal American resident being that he is from P.R., which is a U.S. territory.

I really think that we need more Kindness Revolution Days. This one is a Mediterranean recipe, and it's gluten free, so it's also good for people on special diets.

Fried donuts:
I cheat on this one. Take the frozen bread dough for buns, and heat up wok for deep frying. Drop one ball at a time up to about 5. Flip. They are done when golden brown and float to the top. Dip in sugar immediately. Enjoy!
