...has worked like a charm here in this country and around the world rather than seeing and dealing witht eh one common enemy. It's easier than taking candy from a baby. I don't want think about how bad it really is out there in many parts of the world. Stories like these just break my heart. Yet in still, I try to concentrate on what is available and cultivate those ideas which and eventually lead to our salvation (And I dont mean religion). Peace.

i wish i had been in her place. her situation mught be tragic and sad for some, but for some people, this job is what make us feeel alive. some people need to see death in the face to learn the true meaning of life. lifes end to all, what matters is what you do before.

And Black Children in the Urban Areas of the United States think They have it Bad! How tragic it is that loads of guns and ammunition are available, but Food seems to be scarce.

@OQUENDO1968 What a stupid comment... Nobody should complain about its situation because "there is always worse elsewhere" ? Also, why should black americans compare themselves with Congolese at war, and not with white Americans who live on the same soil and under the same laws ? Maybe America' segregation history leaves room for such racist comments.

@adriano911 You're entitled to your opinion and obvioulsy, you disagree. But racist?? I think not. As a Black Man in in Amerikka, I can attest to the racism and bigotry so prevalent as a key social fabric on Amerikkka's landscape. And I will attest to the fact that it is getting worse, thanks to the monetary system and so-called Govenment here. But Black and White Kids Here Still have many opportunities here than most kids around the world can't even fathom. The 'Divide and Conquer' Strategy..

Madeleine is so strong. I hope her story helps to make changes!

[egodband]

who is guaranteed to have exempt from what has happened to this girl?? why dont we change our perception and together make things different? why does anyone think that this will never happen to them?, what have we turned the world into?

This is the viciousness of ego conciousness. It uses everyone for its own purposes. Women have been a victim of this misuse for centuries. Very sad. You can see it in her eyes.

[bluecafe22]
