Flashback to 2005
«[...]
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time?
[...]
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter of fact he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
So go ahead and get gone
And call up that [boy] and see if [he]'s home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Because you was untrue
[...]
So since I'm not your everything
How about I'll be nothing, nothing at all to you
Baby I won't shed a tear for you, I won't lose a wink of sleep
'cause the truth of the matter is replacing you is so easy

The US military's dirty, ugly and shameful secret
When men in the military rape other men in the ranks, no one wants to talk about it. Why the sexual assault of males in the service is finally being confronted.«Less than two weeks after arriving on base, [Greg Jeloudov] was gang-raped in the barracks by men who said they were showing him who was in charge of the United States. When he reported the attack to unit commanders, he says they told him, “It must have been your fault. You must have provoked them.”Read more here.
What happened to Jeloudov is a part of life in the armed forces that hardly anyone talks about: male-on-male sexual assault.»

Today's Japan earthquakes and tsunamis
Loss of life is almost always awful and tragic. Yet we must remain aware that our planet is here as a result of natural disasters and so is humanity. Natural disasters are part of life and it's our responsiblity as humans to listen to what science tells us and to prepare and protect ourselves the best way possible for no supreme being is ever going to come to our rescue. How much evidence do we need of this?!It's also our responsibility to help one another after an event like today's and make certain that goverments remain also held responsible, requiring and enforcing appropriate building codes, establishing and protecting early warning systems, educating and preparing their citizens and managing emergencies as best possible.

The American Red Cross Disaster Relief.
The British Red Cross Disaster Fund.
