    Our cultural oddities

    Geneen you have done well to bring this heart grabbing story to light. It appears that more than greed, it was indifference on your part. My only advice is, take good care and have faith, fruit of honest labor is never lost. I also suggest an addition to the list of our cultural oddities. After “We say we want to stop violence, but we allow genocide in Darfur.” add "We want to remember Holocaust, but we ignore what goes on in Gaza."
