Racial & Religious Hatred, Prejudice, Slander, Defamation
Something was given to me at work today that could be seen as labelling a particular religious group as devil worshipers. I know that they are not. The information was copied off a website and was given to several people so I asked for a copy. I read it through with interest. Some of itContinue reading “Racial & Religious Hatred, Prejudice, Slander, Defamation”
Refugees
You would have to be a very hard person not to be moved by the picture of the little boy who drowned. The photo has moved a lot of people around the world.

How many lives have to be lost before something will be done to end it? Because it’s horses that are dying many peopleContinue reading “Grand National Sweepstakes”

The date of Eostre is not fixed, but is governed by the phases of the moon, a tradition dating back to ancient times. The celebrations would include theContinue reading “Happy Eostre!”
