rick, i thought of you

and all of the other ex-mormons whose words i read (thanks to YOUR blog).

it's not just some in the catholic church and it obviously isn't just some mormons either. it's world wide. it doesn't matter your color, your gender, your wealth or your religion.

in some circles it's NOT ok to be gay but it IS ok to be a pedophile

pedophiles MUST be stopped and NOTHING should get in the way of doing so. GOD TOLD ME THIS. you bet your ass she did!

Rory O'Connor: Mirror, Mirror

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION by Rory O'Connor
In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the beautiful but wicked Queen would ask her mirror each day, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" And the talking mirror would respond, "Oh My Queen, it seems to me, there is none fairer in the land than thee!"The fairy tale sprang to mind recently at the first annual Mirror Awards for "the best in media industry reporting," sponsored by Syracuse University's S.I.

......The Post Register ran a six-day series about the affair. The first story featured a 14-year-old camper -- "the son of a Mormon seminary teacher and a cinch to become an Eagle Scout" -- who forced adult leaders to call the police about the pedophile.Then the backlash began. Mormon church members were among the first to complain, characterizing the paper's coverage as an attack on their faith. "The drums banged, and we were flooded with calls and e-mails and letters to the editor from readers who told us that holding the Grand Teton Council accountable was Mormon-bashing," Miller recounted...........
