Activities: Intactivism


 
Forced Circumcision is Genital Mutilation
MGMbill.org is a private non-profit organization based in San Diego, California, seeking to pass a law that will end the practice of male genital mutilation (circumcision) in the United States of America. Currently, girls are protected from genital mutilation by U.S. federal law, but boys are not.
 
Although legal protection of only girls from circumcision would seem to violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the fact remains that it is still widely considered to be legal in this country to mutilate a boy's genitals in the name of social custom, hygiene, religion, or any other reason. This is true despite the well documented lifelong damage that male circumcision causes each of its victims.


It's a practice we need to end now.

"The people I'm furious with
are the women's liberationists.
They keep getting up on soapboxes
and proclaiming
women are brighter than men.
That's true, but it should be kept quiet
or it ruins the whole racket."

- Anita Loos -
 New York Times, 10 February 1974

 

 ... I simply love this quote.
I hope that it makes you smile
With Love

Reasons to Smile:

- Remember its quite true to say
       One smile is worth a dozen frowns.
- It enriches those who receive,
Without making poorer those who give.
- Among the worlds expensive things
A smile is very cheap.
- The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled.
- And after all this my dear Friend
Just give a big one: it's Weekend



... so, I wish you a wonderful one.
And, smile dear Friend
With Love

Our friendship is an ocean
Stretching
Far and wide
Never ending
Filled with memories
That last a lifetime
Our friendship is
Just like the stars
Both go beyond
Man's reach
So best friends it is
Now and forever.
That's the best feeling there is
Nothing could be better
Now and forever.

 

 With Love
 Ana

"Great spirits have always found
violent opposition from mediocrities.
The latter cannot understand it
when a man does not thoughtlessly
submit to hereditary prejudices,
but honestly and courageously
uses his intelligence and
fulfills the duty to express the results
of his thought in clear form."
Albert Einstein

"A friend is someone
 who dances with you in the sunlight and,
 walks with you in the shadows.
 Is someone
 who stays there in silence and,
 hears what you say no mater the subject.
 Walks by your side and,
 behind you and catchs if you stumble.
 A FRIEND is a gift, a treasure to keep,to honour,
 whom we give a permanent place in our hearts."



... I love you sweet friend and,
 I wish you a wonderful weekend.

A Smile
 
A smile
can tell a story
or whisper a single word
Brightens a face
Shadows a past
Welcomes
Repels
A cover-up
A window to the mind

A stairway to the heart.

by Maria (aged 12)




... I wish you dear friend,
a week full of smiles  
With Love

The Unicorn
Mane the colour of churning foam
 or snow on a moonlit night
Like dandelion seed fluff as fine as cirrus
 in the morning light
Each eye like a stormy whirlpool
 in the dark, swirling sea,
Her horn casts rainbow haloes
 which shimmer beautifully
Pearly coat of liquid silver
 like a glossy sheet of ice
White feathers at her cloven hooves
 as soft and quiet as mice
In the moonlight she gallops gracefully
 like a shadow on the sea
With softness, sweetness and purity
 she looks across to me.
by Anna (aged 11)

... may your week be full of Love

Let Me Live
The darkness is closing in
Soon I will be gone
Why do I deserve this?
I've done nothing wrong.
I'm thrown in to a crate
I feel so cold and alone
I wonder what's next
The future is unknown.
Hundreds of others around me
Screaming for their parents
I know they will not come
They've been shot protecting us.
Everyday this happens
Innocent animals killed for money
Another day, another kill
It's not the one bit funny.
Do your self a favour
If not for you, for your future kids
Save us endangered animals
Please just let us live!

You have a special place in my heart
The place that will never empty
You take up the biggest space
When your sick
I will be there to confort
When you hurt yourself
I will be there to help
When you heart gets broken
I will find the peaces
No matter where you go
Whatever you do
I will be here for you
No matter what happens
Always know I love you
In every way I can
I will give you my heart
Every last bit of it
I give you my Love
All I have in it.



... thank you my friend

Ana
