The pain and scarring inflicted upon torture victims may be the least harm done to the culture that perpetrates torturous acts when one considers what the act of torture does to the souls of those who inflict it, particularly when so many of the victims are innocent. <BR/><BR/>There is an enormous difference between acts of torture committed from a breakdown of individual morality in times of stress and the institutional or societal acceptance of torture as policy.<BR/><BR/>WWWWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12333087913528941756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-86608676909449325462009-03-25T02:43:00.000+00:002009-03-25T02:43:00.000+00:00This unabashed confession certainly absolves you o...This unabashed confession certainly absolves you of your sin.<BR/>What an ordeal!

We are the caregiver's wih a long line of those who went before us and left us with their wisdom. No need to check with a Dr. (unless it is a female Dr.)!<BR/>Feel better Terry. We are all rooting for you.<BR/><BR/>Jenny Lou ParkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
