However they are a large picture and my vision of myself as a story teller is to perhaps incite a new generation to action.

It is almost as if rapes are allowed to happen. There is no deterrence factor - no tough prison sentences, no threats of castration (physical or chemical)- absolutely nothing. Something has to be done about these situations. Really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
