Well, that's fucked up. I have a serious question, how do I stop myself from becoming jaded to this kind of thing.? It is all around, all the time, and it sort of wears the outrage out of me.

Thank you for this. Posts from Sub-saharan Africa tend not to get much comment, as (I'm guessing) most don't feel they have anything intelligent to say. Nonetheless, it is very much appreciated.
