RIP Michael Jackson
by sizemik init's one hour into june 25th here in new zealand .
and two years since the death of michael jackson.. we all know of his family life and the connection the family had to the jehovah's witness religion, his abusive father, and the less than ideal childhood he experienced.
his struggles with his identity and his past manifested itself in a life of extreme highs and lows.

What's With The JAPANESE?
by sizemik ini was rather impressed when the reports came through following the japanese quake with regard to the absence of looting.

THE INTERNET - The Means For A Global Revolution?
by sizemik inwe recently had a tour here in new zealand from the musical legend herbie hancock.
during the tour he engaged in a media interview where he expressed himself about the effects of the internet on the global community.. he spoke with intelligence and refreshing optimism about the potential of the internet and the opportunities it opens up for the world community.. in short (and i'm going only from memory here), he expressed how he felt the drawing together of individuals through the internet, and the opportunity for large groups of people to speak with a combined voice, had the capacity to initiate major change.
he highlighted the further potential for large, instantaneous, interest groups, to both highlight issues and bring pressure on world leaders to initiate change.. a recent example is the petitioning of ugandan govt officials regarding the proposed harsh anti-gay legislation being presented before the ugandan parliament.

Who pays for this?
by sizemik inthe precedent set here will mean a criminal record and a fine and/or other penalties for the legal caregiver of any jw minor who suffers injury or dies through not receiving blood.
with over 200,000 witnesses in russia, this could become a regular occurrance.. any loss of life as a result of this misguided belief should indeed be punished or deterred by law.. but i just wonder .
who will meet the cost for these ones?.
