Amnesty International has released a report on juvenile life without parole statistics and experience. I have been following this type of story for a while now and every time I read or see something about it I get sick to my stomach. This alone disqualifies the USA as a a candiate for the “greatest country in the world.” How pathetic are people to believe an 11 year old deserve to rot in prison for the rest of their lives? The prosecution, judge, and juries on these cases physically disgust me.

One of the other important aspects of this report is its recognition of how psychological disorders play a large role in these cases. As I have argued with numerous people and on here before, those with psychological disorders are among the most mistreated and ignored in our society. It goes to show how emotional ignorant and empty we are as a nation that people that are suffering with something uncontrollable, and many times difficult to treat (medically and with the physical ability to give treatment since our nation has done little to give patients, their families, and doctors the adequate tools to actually helping those in need). Mix this massive failure of conscience with a nation willing to destroy the young life of another and we have a dangerous situation.

Anyways, follow the link to the report, it is devastating and painful, but absolutely necessary to know and understand.

He is not LWOP, but I think this is super important.

Why the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger:

The Chinese give a beautiful explanation to this.

• The thumb represents your parents.
• The index finger represents your siblings.
• The middle finger represents yourself.
• The ring finger represents your life partner.
• The little finger/pinky represents your children.

Hold your hands together like the picture. Join your middle fingers back-to-back, and the remaining fingers tip-to-tip.

Now, try to separate your thumbs. They will separate because your parents are not destined to live with you forever. Rejoin your thumbs and separate your index fingers. They will separate because your siblings will have their own families and lead their own lives. Rejoin your index fingers and separate your little fingers/pinkies. They will separate because your children will grow up, get married, and settle down. Rejoin your little fingers/pinkies and try to separate your ring finger. They will not be able to separate because your life partner is meant to be with you throughout your entire life, through thick and thin.
