And the world should know:

"Since U.S. troops reentered the Philippines in February under the auspices of the so-called U.S. war on terrorism, more than 5,000 Filipinas have been trafficked into the southern Philippines and South Korea to provide sexual services to the troops stationed there. More than two dozen Filipino men, women and children, member Gabriella Philippines and the progressive Bayan Muna political party, have since been killed by paramilitary forces without any reproach... Even now, U.S. troops are to return to the Philippines to stablish a military base in the southern island of Zabwoanga and to secure and expropriate oil reserves recently discovered in the sea touching Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines." - Vivian Gupta, Gabriella Network

note: "Be very careful if you make a woman cry because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior of, but from his side to be equal with. Under the arm to be protected for and next to the heart to be loved."

I don't care if that statement wouldn't apply to everybody's belief or whether it applies to the current occassion. I just wanted to say that! ha! And all I wanted to say is.... the gloomy girl is gone.
