The pas few weeks we saw skies in Amsterdam and other parts of the country such as Hoogeveen in the provence of Drenthe and Kollum in the province of Friesland. So here you go:

Be afraid of you

Most people teach their children to be aware of strangers. Why? The facts (but why bother with a simple thing like 'facts' when you can watch Fox News, right?) point out that when a child gets molested it's usually done by a family member, a teacher or someone else they trust.

We are twenty times more likely to be killed by a relative than by a terrorist so why are we afraid of terrorists and not of our grandma? And in most cases when people are killed it's by their own hand.

So if there's anything or anyone we really should be afraid of it's ourselves.

AT&T and LGBT

AT&T has had a 'same rights for everyone' policy since the 70s. Great!

Phonecompany AT&T takes a stand against Russia's anti-gay laws: http://www.hrc.org/blog/entry/att-condemns-anti-lgbt-law-in-russia-sets-example-for-other-olympic-sponsor Great!

But what was their stand a couple of years ago when homosexuals in the US army got beat up just for being homosexuals and the government's stand was: 'It's their own fault. Stupid of them to let others know they are gay.' And what is AT&T's stand against the British 'clause 28' that allows landlords to expel gay people from their own homes and allows school principals to fire teachers who are openly gay?

Does AT&T know there are still states in the US that ban gay marriage and don't allow them to have the same rights as heterosexuals concerning adoption and such?

You would almost think AT&T has a big contract with the US army.
