Meanwhile...while we vote...


There's a lot of problems here in the good old U.S.A., and I think we've pretty much metaphoically beaten them to death over the course of an election...but, at least we don't have this...people actually being beaten to death like this:

"MOGADISHU, Somalia — A 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death in Somalia after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants, a human rights group said.

Dozens of men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death Oct. 27 in a stadium packed with 1,000 spectators in the southern port city of Kismayo, Amnesty International and Somali media reported, citing witnesses. The Islamic militia in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her, the rights group said..." Read more, here.

I'm hoping the next Administration, either one, takes a much stronger position on human rights abuses. These acts should not be tolerated by civilized nations. No one has all the answers, but more should be done.
