There's been a lot of things in the news about bullying, school shootings, and the Violence Against Women Act.
I think that the VAWA should be extended to protect women's sons as well. There is a fair amount of research out there regarding the psychological effects of childhood trauma and neglect. It's not difficult for anyone interested in reading up on the subject to find academic research and professional research articles on the subject. For instance, you could start at http://violence.de, http://cirp.org, or Wikipedia. It's clear that the painful trauma and lifetime of deprivation of normal sexual sensitivity and physical pleasure have a devastating impact upon the mental health of the victims of sexual mutilations.
What's worse is that many judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officials do not recognize infant genital mutilation as a sexual crime. If you think about it the right way, perhaps it appears that the bullies are pretending it's not criminal to torture other men's sons... They are still operating under the mistaken belief that they still have control over the availability of true and complete factual information concerning the anatomy and function of the male prepuce. They believe they can continue to manage people's perceptions of it, and continue to cause people to believe that "circumcision" is in some way beneficial. In reality, the word "circumcision" is a deprecated euphemism for the atrocity that is more accurately referred to as "genital mutilation."
Under the Utah Statutes, it is best described as "aggravated object rape of an infant that culminates in mayhem," Because it is perpetrated by a person in a special position of trust or authority, it becomes "aggravated." Because it involves penetration of a sexual opening (the opening at the end of the prepuce, which is the most sensitive part of the male sexual anatomy, the part they've been amputating and lying to us about), it is "object rape of a child." The child abuse statutes define "serious physical harm" in terms of permanent disfigurement and permanent loss of normal use of a body part. Thereby, the "circumcision" results in serious physical harm, and therefore the most severe penalty applies to those convicted of this despicable atrocity. It is often perpetrated under false pretenses, in that they are not truly providing complete and accurate information to those whom they solicit for the conspiracy to commit this crime; thus there is fraud involved as well.
I've written a number of articles concerning this subject, which yous will find on my blog. There are several letters there written to congress, and to the "Aids Coordinator", who reports to the US Secretary of State. In one article, I discuss how infant genital mutilations perpetrated in the United States are, in fact, crimes against humanity, as defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. I dare you to put an article about this on your front page.
http://karlhegbloom.blogspot.com
Also note the recent decisions in Germany and Australia concerning the criminality of genital mutilation of infant males. There comes a time when we must look around us, observe the societal norms, and learn to conform with them. The Europeans don't "circumcise." The Swedes don't, the Germans don't, the French don't, the Finns don't, the Dutch don't... Russian's don't, the Chinese don't, and the Indian's don't. The majority of the world population views it as an abomination.
If it was justified to attack Iraq based upon the allegations that Saddam Hussein's regime gassed the Kurdish people, etc., and attacking Nazi Germany was justified based on the extermination of Jews there... Then certainly it would be easily possible to justify an invasion of the United States by citing the widespread and systematic practice of infant male genital mutilation. Therefore, it becomes a national security concern. The solution is simple. Stop torturing infants. Put the sex perverts that do that to them behind bars.
We do not need to pass any new laws. It's already illegal under existing laws. To pass a new law that explicitly legalizes that one specific form of mayhem, congress would be admitting that it's already illegal to do so. They can not, in good faith, pass a law that is so clearly in conflict with the primary body of laws concerning malum in se crimes against the person. Our State Constitution contains a clause that says "All laws of a general nature are to have uniform operation." There are no laws against stealing Buick's, Chevrolet's, Ford's, or Porche's, yet it's illegal to steal any one of those specific brands of automobile because of the general purpose laws that prohibit grand larceny. Clearly, the laws that prohibit object rape, child abuse, and mayhem must be applied uniformly. To not do so is unconstitutional.
I will be publishing this email as a blog entry. I'm looking forward to hearing from yous.
Sincerely,

Let's show the world what they really are.
There are a lot of related issues that we should be placing in juxtaposition with one another in our writings. Violence against women is a big deal... Domestic Violence, rape, etc are a big deal to the law enforcement and family courts. So is education... People like to be treated like intelligent human beings capable of forming valid conclusions given true and complete factual information.
Here in Utah, judges have a continued education requirement. One of the women who advertises as a "custody evaluator" is a PhD who has taught classes to those judges concerning how traumatic experiences during childhood can affect their behaviour as adults. The "Project No Spank" people know what I'm talking about; Clearly traumatizing children is not beneficial!
Nobody likes a fraud. Nobody likes hypocrisy, especially in those who are entrusted with governmental powers. The AAP has clearly made fraudulent representations to the people concerning circumcision; and it's clear that Anatomy textbooks, at least here in the Untied States, have been censored, to severely limit the amount of factual information educated people have available with which to make appropriate choices. Clearly there must be a conspiracy at work to bring such a thing into being.
There are still judges who do not acknowledge that "circumcision" is in fact a crime. It is aggravated object rape of an infant that culminates in mayhem. In Utah, it deserves the mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole, per count, as mandated by the statutes on sex crimes. I'm pretty sure they won't be voting to reduce the penalty for that crime any time soon... (This is Salt Lake City, Utah, the former Olympic Village, and they can't just do anything they want, right? or left? Knee what I'm saying?)
When many of us American men were born, the hospital and doctor ("they") solicited our parents to engage in the conspiracy to commit object rape (penetration of a sexual opening with an object) culminating in mayhem (amputation or mutilation of a body part resulting in permanent disfigurement and permanent loss of normal use). They made fraudulent representations to your parents about the "foreskin" -- that is a mere flap of skin, vestigial, and filthy -- and about the alleged health benefits of having your prepuce amputated. Of course they did not tell your parents that it was "object rape culminating in mayhem"; they sued fluffy words lie "circumcision" to describe it.
They want to maintain the illusion that "circumcision" is not illegal; that it's an "accepted medical procedure." By offering a form that alleges to provide them with parent's permission to perform the "procedure" they continue to give it the "color of legality." People just assume that the hospital and doctors would not offer to do something illegal to their child. (Catch 22.)
But we, here in this forum, know how easy it is to show that "circumcision" is really "genital mutilation" or "penis desensitization surgery" or "torture". Anaesthesia only adds insult to the injury -- he'll never feel a thing. (So check the box for the infant lobotomy also. That way he'll never think a thing either.) It is clearly malum in se -- an evil thing in itself -- tantamount to aggravated sexual battery culminating in mayhem.
To pass a law that explicitly legalizes that specific form of mayhem admits that it is already illegal under existing law. But to pass such a law would create a very serious contradiction -- an inconsistency or hypocrisy. Any crime that is classifiable as malum in se is what it is. Murder, mayhem, rape, battery, and assault are crimes no matter what you other name you give them. "Surprise sex" is "rape" in every jurisdiction I'd care to live in, you know what I'm saying?
It is only by hiding the evidence -- censoring textbooks, lying to people about what the "foreskin" really is, etc, and by carefully not mentioning it... that they can continue to remain ignorant of the law. But certainly, ignorance of the law is no excuse. This begs the question: Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, Judges, District Attorneys, Attorney Generals, Sheriffs, and so on are often part of the same social clique. Are they also part of the same conspiracy to pretend that committing aggravated object rape of an infant that culminates in mayhem is not a crime, but an "accepted medical procedure?"
Let's sue their pants off. If they refuse to prosecute it as the crime it truly is, then they themselves are guilty of misprision of felony. If they won't acknowledge it as the crime that it is, then we need to replace them with people who will. Elimination of corruption creates job openings and opportunities for advancement. One of my favourite stories is of a city official who put a hidden camera in his office to video an attempted bribery in progress... Let's show the world what they really are.
How many of the men who serve in law enforcement, prosecutorial, and judicial roles are also victims of male genital mutilation? I suspect that such individuals are intelligent enough to comprehend what they read, and likely to be the kind who are ready, willing, and able to engage in some serious investigative academic research reading, in their copious free time, as part of their continued education requirement. What do you suppose they will conclude, after reviewing the evidence? Ever see that watch with a porky the pig on it, that says "Police Integrity Guts"? You know that "intestinal fortitude" is a double entendre for "genital integrity" right? So, does that mean that cops aren't cut? If that's true, then maybe they really are the storm troopers of the evil empire...
Y'all gotta look stuff up around hee-ah. Y'all undahstaand that, right? That's what kinda neighborhood this here is.

sed -i -e 's/Devil/God/g' -e 's/circumcised/uncircumcised/g' Abraham_HB_BOM.txt
The title of this article is a pretend sed command. It is substituting the word "God" wherever it finds the word "Devil," and the word "uncircumcised" whereever it finds the word "circumcised" in the text file given to it on the command line.
From what I gather, I believe that Joseph Smith would not disagree that it is entirely possible that what remains of the Holy Bible, and yes, even the modern, as we have it today in 2013, Book of Mormon, have been altered from their original form by an adversary who was hell-bent on repressing the Christian uprising, renaissance, or at-one-ment. In modern times, it is certainly easy to modify a computer file, and make it say just about anything you want. You could cause it, through any gross hack you could care to compel the machine to execute, to automatically edit a book, in a flash, without even reading it first. Now that you've gone and done that, don't be surprised and turn away with blind eyes if you find that it's fundamental meaning has probably been completely reversed!
I also don't think he would entirely disagree, at least not seriously, with the assertion that some passages may have been deliberately written in a way that is not meant to be taken as literally correct, but instead should be thought over and perhaps what it really says is something similar to "the opposite" of what the words literally say. For instance, I don't think you're really expected to give away your magic underpants too when they sue your pants off... Though clearly it's not fair dinkum in contract law to swear by the hairs of your head.
In terms of the whole "circumcision" thing... I think that Doctrine and Covenants 74 could be construed as being bogus based on the phrase in verse 5: "Wherefore, for this cause the apostle wrote unto the church, giving unto them a commandment, not of the Lord, but of himself..." since commandments are supposed to be 'of the lord'... But what does "lord" mean? Those who have been gifted with the Lore are now "lord", past tense. It is a logical fallacy to appeal to religion, but Religion may freely appeal to logic and reason. We read scripture for a purpose; we become quite facile at reading and making citations to written works. Clearly Our Heavenly Father intends that we study other written works beyond what remains of Holy Scripture... after all, we are given to believe that Moroni abridged the whole set of works to create the plates gifted unto Joseph Smith!
You've gotta look stuff up around here! That's the kind of neighbourhood this is. Please don't ever forget that not even the Scripture is 100% accurate! It's a good thing Our Heavenly Father provided us with the gift of discernment --- the ability to divine right from wrong --- and along with that, he gave us Free Agency --- the ability to make our own choices.
In terms of the amount and kind of lore required to Choose the Right thing with regards to amputation of a boy's prepuce... All that it requires is knowledge of the true anatomy and function of the adult prepuce, along with knowledge of what the baby or boy suffers during the procedure, and what the adult man he will someday become will suffer as a result of it's loss. Imagine if the Devil was in control of whether or not that information was made available to your mother! Would the Devil tell her the truth about it? I doubt it.
What if the Devil knows how to typeset? ...or how to scour the Internet? What if you never even think to look it up, and you take the word of somebody who stands to profit in some way from your mistake?
I am very certain that whatever entity it was that demanded that Abraham submit to amputation of his prepuce, that entity was most certainly not "God." There's no doubt whatsoever in my mind that (a) God the Father doesn't yell at us; (b) nor does he demand that we submit to amputation of an important part of the mortal body that he gave us when he sent us to live on Earth! The LDS Articles of Faith, number 8, says "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God." I suppose that whether it was "translated" or "subjected to gross hackery by a homo capitalis jeeper creep mobster" is a finer point for some hypothetical debate...
History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men.

Open Letter to Congress
Dear Legislators, Judicial, and Executive officers for the State of Utah,
I appreciate your taking the time to read this letter as well as the (attached to original email) Doctors Opposing Circumcision Commentary on American Academy of Pediatrics 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement. Please read them in full, regardless of whether you agree with these opinions or not. If you don't agree, you'll want to be familiar with this argument. If you do agree, you'll want to be familiar with this argument. You have not heard the last of it on this matter whether you want to face it or not. As congressmen, you can appreciate the importance of having complete and valid information upon which to base your decisions.
The dialectical method can not operate properly and draw correct conclusions without complete and valid information. It is an atavistic digression away from the goals of Rule of Law to attempt to "win" this, or any, argument or attain "consensus" by disallowing some information, or by disallowing or "discouraging" participation by those who do not advocate the prepucial guillotine... I think protecting babies is likely to help win elections. Do not underestimate the intelligence of your constituency. Praise it. Support it. It's hard to fly like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys.
A year or so ago, I wrote to yous asking for a sponsor for the "MGM Bill." I no longer support that bill because I am now quite certain, beyond any reasonable doubt, that "circumcision" is tantamount to "aggravated object rape of a child, culminating in mayhem, and felony aggravated child abuse", crimes which are already illegal in Utah, thank Goodness, and carry an appropriately high penalty. Obviously the "solicitation for conspiracy to commit ..." is also illegal. The MGM Bill is a masked attempt at weakening the penalties associated with that crime, since under existing law, it amounts to a mandatory prison sentence of life without parole, where the poorly written MGM Bill has it as "up to 14 years or a fine."
I happen to know that, presently, some of the Judges presently on the bench in Utah do not appear to recognize infant genital mutilation as a crime. I know this because they have referred to it as "first rite," on the record, in the Family Court. I assert that it is not a "rite" (nor is it a "right") It is a crime. There is most certainly malum in se when the most sensitive part of an infant's body is amputated. I believe in application of strict liability for the strict labectomy... res ipsa loquitur is a screaming infant victim, whom we all have a moral Duty to Rescue, iussum quia iustum.)
People are reasonably logical thinkers, regardless of whether or not they have formally studied formal logic (or legalese latin pretty quick on Wikipedia). When given several "facts," they will draw the logical conclusion from those facts. But if certain facts are omitted, an invalid conclusion can be drawn from those "facts," and often those "facts" turn out not to be valid, accurate, or true. Sometimes they even turn out to be blatantly false! Caveat emptor. Our individual sets of initial assumptions can vary widely, and so depending on what you've been taught about the "foreskin," you may or may not believe that amputating it is a crime. What will you do if you discover that you have been deceived about it by those you trusted with your important health decisions? (Have another statin pill. Trust me, right? Oh, and give up and just inhale the smog. It's all there is. You'll be Ok. It's not what's really causing your atherosclerosis, or anything...)
In fact, the American People have been deceived about the the "foreskin" by a conspiracy that has gone as far as to censor Anatomy and Physiology textbooks, so that the anatomical diagrams of the male genitalia do not feature the prepuce, but instead depict a denuded glans. In the particular textbook that I have, the only mention, in an otherwise very detailed college textbook, of the foreskin (or prepuce, it's medical name) is in one short paragraph, and in the context of "circumcision." It makes me wonder what else they have cut out of the pictures or knocked off the statues... Just keep guessing. (Zener cards, anyone? Oh, but let's play it with a Tarot deck.)
The Doctor's Opposing Circumcision web site has an Anatomy Lesson available to remedy this situation, for those who (won't beg the) question why they are being taught to amputate something they are not being told anything much about... or anything; So, why is our foreskin being "cut out of the picture?" As congressmen, you can appreciate the importance of having complete and valid information upon which to base your decisions.
The AMA has an agenda that includes working to prevent any new laws from being passed to make "circumcision" illegal, and I think that's just fine, since it's already illegal under existing laws. In order to draw that conclusion, this argument presumes that yous have "done your homework" by reading several documents and web sites:
The Utah State Constitution, in Article I, Section 24, reads "All laws of a general nature shall have uniform operation." I feel certain that the intended meaning of the phrase "uniform operation" is closely related to the meaning of the word "Integrity," in the context of Ethics. Quoting Wikipedia:
I also feel certain that no Reasonable Person, given true, complete, and factual information regarding the true anatomy and function of the prepuce, as well as a view of what goes on in there, behind the closed doors of the pedo-O.R., where babies are strapped down to a mini crucifix known as a "circumstraint," given an erection with an antiseptic swab, and then tortured. The use of anesthesia only adds insult[1] to injury: He'll never feel a thing... after they amputate 50-80% of the nerve endings from his little penis.
I imagine that you've all heard of the "Stop Kony in 2012" campaign, since it was all over the news for a while, touted as having "gone viral"... I'm sure that many Americans have learned about it, and through that, many who were not already aware of it are now aware of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. I wouldn't bet against the assertion that a majority of those citizens are in favor of congressional ratification of the Rome Statute.
Since President Bush (believed he had) withdrew our signature from the Rome Statute, some have said that We the People have accede the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and that the United States and it's territories are, de facto, subject to it's jurisdiction, regardless of whether or not those who allege to represent us in congress agree with that assertion or not. Do I need to tell you this every day for the next several thousand sessions? Think about it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, especially when you represent the People, as a government official. Take care of this. It's your responsibility. (Perhaps you will like to join the posse comitatus, assuming you're not one of those who will be indicted...)
The Rome Statute recognizes rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy, forced sterilization, "or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity" as crime against humanity if the action is part of a widespread or systematic practice. Guess what? Think about it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way again. People are not going to continue to put up with it. They are not stupid. They are not ignorant. They are not bystanders; they are victims.
They were misinformed. When they find out, they are going to be very angry. Will congress be their target? I hope not, given that it is easy to show that infant genital mutilation is a very serious felony in every state of the union... except for those which have an (unconstitutional? unethical!) exemption for "ritual circumcision" in their statutes...
Circumcision is not part of Judaism, nor is it part of Islam. It is something that was imposed upon them by an oppressive conqueror. And Christians do not circumcise. That is one of the primary things that set them apart from the Jews. Only in America, the land of freedomination... sarc. The currents of law are changing.
I would like the executive officer of the State of Utah, our Governor, to issue a decree stating that, indeed, infant genital mutilation, is in fact against the law. All who were offering that "service" must cease and desist. The State Police must confiscate all contraband related to the performing of that atrocity -- circumstraints, plastibells, "permission" forms, etc. Medical records must be subpoenaed, and these crimes investigated. From now on, DCFS and the State Police must enforce the law. The state and district attorneys must prosecute the offenders. Judges must see it for what it is, and when a suspect is duly convicted, pass sentence appropriate to the severity of the crime. If they are unwilling to do these things, then they become accessories after the fact. If those laws mean nothing, in light of the facts, then none of them do. We may as well have civil war in light of a bonfire of law books. Hey; weiner roast anyone? Yours first. Fair dinkum? Think about it. We're at your gates, and we're not praying for Bloody Sunday. We can read and write, and we do. We recognize that violence is the problem, not the solution... But I can not speak for everyone without first hearing their opinions, res ipsa loquitur.
I suggest a diversion program, where if parents solicit for conspiracy to commit child abuse and aggravated object rape that culminates in mayhem, they are warned, reported to DCFS and the District Attorney, and then faced with either attending the diversion program or being charged with a crime. The diversion program will educate them, perhaps using material provided by Intact America, so they understand why it's a crime. Babies need love, not trauma. It's simple. Ask the prince. ;-) What are we supposed to do? Follow the example set for us by leadership, or by history? Riot? Pogrom?

[1] All of you have known some guy who's always putting other people down, always bragging, squealing his tires, showing off, beating you up when nobody's there to witness it, etc. (Maybe some of you are that character; if so, then I strongly suggest you maintain your innocence by supporting the Intactivist agenda.) They pretend they've done nothing wrong, and that you're lying about having been assaulted... The only ones who know for sure what really went on are yourself and the bully. When bullies like that have attained positions of authority, a very serious situation exists. Bullies love to turn their victims into bullies. People learn by example; and from those who mentor them. But if a bully dominates someone and "mentors" them... Hello Columbine!
I appreciate your taking the time to read this letter as well as the (attached to original email) Doctors Opposing Circumcision Commentary on American Academy of Pediatrics 2012 Circumcision Policy Statement. Please read them in full, regardless of whether you agree with these opinions or not. If you don't agree, you'll want to be familiar with this argument. If you do agree, you'll want to be familiar with this argument. You have not heard the last of it on this matter whether you want to face it or not. As congressmen, you can appreciate the importance of having complete and valid information upon which to base your decisions.
The dialectical method can not operate properly and draw correct conclusions without complete and valid information. It is an atavistic digression away from the goals of Rule of Law to attempt to "win" this, or any, argument or attain "consensus" by disallowing some information, or by disallowing or "discouraging" participation by those who do not advocate the prepucial guillotine... I think protecting babies is likely to help win elections. Do not underestimate the intelligence of your constituency. Praise it. Support it. It's hard to fly like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys.
A year or so ago, I wrote to yous asking for a sponsor for the "MGM Bill." I no longer support that bill because I am now quite certain, beyond any reasonable doubt, that "circumcision" is tantamount to "aggravated object rape of a child, culminating in mayhem, and felony aggravated child abuse", crimes which are already illegal in Utah, thank Goodness, and carry an appropriately high penalty. Obviously the "solicitation for conspiracy to commit ..." is also illegal. The MGM Bill is a masked attempt at weakening the penalties associated with that crime, since under existing law, it amounts to a mandatory prison sentence of life without parole, where the poorly written MGM Bill has it as "up to 14 years or a fine."
I happen to know that, presently, some of the Judges presently on the bench in Utah do not appear to recognize infant genital mutilation as a crime. I know this because they have referred to it as "first rite," on the record, in the Family Court. I assert that it is not a "rite" (nor is it a "right") It is a crime. There is most certainly malum in se when the most sensitive part of an infant's body is amputated. I believe in application of strict liability for the strict labectomy... res ipsa loquitur is a screaming infant victim, whom we all have a moral Duty to Rescue, iussum quia iustum.)
People are reasonably logical thinkers, regardless of whether or not they have formally studied formal logic (or legalese latin pretty quick on Wikipedia). When given several "facts," they will draw the logical conclusion from those facts. But if certain facts are omitted, an invalid conclusion can be drawn from those "facts," and often those "facts" turn out not to be valid, accurate, or true. Sometimes they even turn out to be blatantly false! Caveat emptor. Our individual sets of initial assumptions can vary widely, and so depending on what you've been taught about the "foreskin," you may or may not believe that amputating it is a crime. What will you do if you discover that you have been deceived about it by those you trusted with your important health decisions? (Have another statin pill. Trust me, right? Oh, and give up and just inhale the smog. It's all there is. You'll be Ok. It's not what's really causing your atherosclerosis, or anything...)
In fact, the American People have been deceived about the the "foreskin" by a conspiracy that has gone as far as to censor Anatomy and Physiology textbooks, so that the anatomical diagrams of the male genitalia do not feature the prepuce, but instead depict a denuded glans. In the particular textbook that I have, the only mention, in an otherwise very detailed college textbook, of the foreskin (or prepuce, it's medical name) is in one short paragraph, and in the context of "circumcision." It makes me wonder what else they have cut out of the pictures or knocked off the statues... Just keep guessing. (Zener cards, anyone? Oh, but let's play it with a Tarot deck.)
The Doctor's Opposing Circumcision web site has an Anatomy Lesson available to remedy this situation, for those who (won't beg the) question why they are being taught to amputate something they are not being told anything much about... or anything; So, why is our foreskin being "cut out of the picture?" As congressmen, you can appreciate the importance of having complete and valid information upon which to base your decisions.
The AMA has an agenda that includes working to prevent any new laws from being passed to make "circumcision" illegal, and I think that's just fine, since it's already illegal under existing laws. In order to draw that conclusion, this argument presumes that yous have "done your homework" by reading several documents and web sites:
The Utah State Constitution, in Article I, Section 24, reads "All laws of a general nature shall have uniform operation." I feel certain that the intended meaning of the phrase "uniform operation" is closely related to the meaning of the word "Integrity," in the context of Ethics. Quoting Wikipedia:
Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy, in that it regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.
The word "integrity" stems from the Latin adjective integer (whole, complete). In this context, integrity is the inner sense of "wholeness" deriving from qualities such as honesty and consistency of character. As such, one may judge that others "have integrity" to the extent that they act according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.
A value system's abstraction depth and range of applicable interaction may also function as significant factors in identifying integrity due to their congruence or lack of congruence with observation. A value system may evolve over time while retaining integrity if those who espouse the values account for and resolve inconsistencies.When I search the Utah Statutes for "Volkswagon," "Buick," or "Ford," I find that there are no laws prohibiting the theft of any of those brands of automobiles. However, there are, of course, laws against stealing high valued personal belongings from other people. Those "laws of a general nature" certainly apply to theft of any brand of automobile. I feel very certain that no Reasonable Person will disagree with that assertion.
In computer science, an abstraction level is a generalization of a model or algorithm, away from any specific implementation. These generalizations arise from broad similarities that are best encapsulated by models that express similarities present in various specific implementations. The simplification provided by a good abstraction layer allows for easy reuse by distilling a useful concept or metaphor so that situations where it may be accurately applied can be quickly recognized.
I also feel certain that no Reasonable Person, given true, complete, and factual information regarding the true anatomy and function of the prepuce, as well as a view of what goes on in there, behind the closed doors of the pedo-O.R., where babies are strapped down to a mini crucifix known as a "circumstraint," given an erection with an antiseptic swab, and then tortured. The use of anesthesia only adds insult[1] to injury: He'll never feel a thing... after they amputate 50-80% of the nerve endings from his little penis.
I imagine that you've all heard of the "Stop Kony in 2012" campaign, since it was all over the news for a while, touted as having "gone viral"... I'm sure that many Americans have learned about it, and through that, many who were not already aware of it are now aware of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. I wouldn't bet against the assertion that a majority of those citizens are in favor of congressional ratification of the Rome Statute.
Since President Bush (believed he had) withdrew our signature from the Rome Statute, some have said that We the People have accede the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and that the United States and it's territories are, de facto, subject to it's jurisdiction, regardless of whether or not those who allege to represent us in congress agree with that assertion or not. Do I need to tell you this every day for the next several thousand sessions? Think about it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, especially when you represent the People, as a government official. Take care of this. It's your responsibility. (Perhaps you will like to join the posse comitatus, assuming you're not one of those who will be indicted...)
The Rome Statute recognizes rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution, forced pregnancy, forced sterilization, "or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity" as crime against humanity if the action is part of a widespread or systematic practice. Guess what? Think about it. Lead, follow, or get out of the way again. People are not going to continue to put up with it. They are not stupid. They are not ignorant. They are not bystanders; they are victims.
They were misinformed. When they find out, they are going to be very angry. Will congress be their target? I hope not, given that it is easy to show that infant genital mutilation is a very serious felony in every state of the union... except for those which have an (unconstitutional? unethical!) exemption for "ritual circumcision" in their statutes...
Circumcision is not part of Judaism, nor is it part of Islam. It is something that was imposed upon them by an oppressive conqueror. And Christians do not circumcise. That is one of the primary things that set them apart from the Jews. Only in America, the land of freedomination... sarc. The currents of law are changing.
I would like the executive officer of the State of Utah, our Governor, to issue a decree stating that, indeed, infant genital mutilation, is in fact against the law. All who were offering that "service" must cease and desist. The State Police must confiscate all contraband related to the performing of that atrocity -- circumstraints, plastibells, "permission" forms, etc. Medical records must be subpoenaed, and these crimes investigated. From now on, DCFS and the State Police must enforce the law. The state and district attorneys must prosecute the offenders. Judges must see it for what it is, and when a suspect is duly convicted, pass sentence appropriate to the severity of the crime. If they are unwilling to do these things, then they become accessories after the fact. If those laws mean nothing, in light of the facts, then none of them do. We may as well have civil war in light of a bonfire of law books. Hey; weiner roast anyone? Yours first. Fair dinkum? Think about it. We're at your gates, and we're not praying for Bloody Sunday. We can read and write, and we do. We recognize that violence is the problem, not the solution... But I can not speak for everyone without first hearing their opinions, res ipsa loquitur.
I suggest a diversion program, where if parents solicit for conspiracy to commit child abuse and aggravated object rape that culminates in mayhem, they are warned, reported to DCFS and the District Attorney, and then faced with either attending the diversion program or being charged with a crime. The diversion program will educate them, perhaps using material provided by Intact America, so they understand why it's a crime. Babies need love, not trauma. It's simple. Ask the prince. ;-) What are we supposed to do? Follow the example set for us by leadership, or by history? Riot? Pogrom? Because violence is the problem, not the solution, I suggest that we set a positive example for future generations to follow. They need love, not trauma. They need truth, not inevitably discoverable lies. How will they trust you otherwise? What will it do to their faith? What kind of resentments could it foster? How will we address those resentments? Shall we use the legal structure, or would you prefer a bloodbath? Oh, and what about that Agenda 21 thing? We're all watching to see what you do, as lawmakers and representatives of We the People. The time has come for some common sense.
