I am often wrong but seldom in doubt

Hollywood trash talk:  does anyone get a sense of something awry with George Clooney's wedding?  He's an actor but doesn't give off "love" vibes like you'd think.

Another Irish Clergy Abuse.

My grandfather, the most important man in my childhood, was a devout Catholic, but cautioned me at 5 about the clergy.  They were not to be trusted, respected yes, but not trusted.  And here's another reason.  For years  Irish nuns ran commercial laundries staffed by children entrusted to their 'care.' Clients included hotels, the airports, and commercial establishments. Records show children were held in slave labor conditions for an average of 8 years, many longer.  The Irish government is about to pay millions in compensation. Grandad was right, and its tuff to be a Catholic in light of the every increasing revelations of clergy abuse.

Primitive India

One of India’s last primitive tribes,  the Konyaks were fierce headhunters until the practice was supposedly banned in the 1940’s. Killing and severing an enemy’s head was considered a rite of passage for young boys, and success was rewarded with a prestigious facial tattoo. With the last headhunting case in Nagaland reported in 1969, older tribesmen like Pangshong belong to the last generation with these striking facial tattoos. 9
