After spending most of the day in the Great Debate on Female Genital Mutilation, I was feeling pretty discouraged but then I came across this. Photos and stories, courtesy of the Washington Post. People **are** making a difference. [Gallery is here](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/onassignment/truth/nav.htm) ---

Once I looked up Human Rights Violations on the web and arrived at a site which listed the nations of the world who had them. America is listed there, mainly for ‘inhumane prison conditions’. I protested, asking why so many other nations, like Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and a few others were not shown. I was told they list nations at intervals. Several weeks later I went back and America was still up there. I dumped the site. Get enough people involved, and mountains can be moved.
