Scratching to Escape: An Estimate of Misery

In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

An Estimate of Misery

It's estimated there are 12 to 27 million people enslaved in the world today. This includes kidnapped women and underage girls forced into the sex trade.

I think the media, and these special interest groups, have their priorities all screwed up.
