Good Morning to all of you here, and Hello to everyone overseas! A current incident, which took place a few weeks ago, put my priority list of topics upside down, consequently I have decided to talk about Sex- Offenders today, and how they are handled by the American society respectively.

First of all, let me briefly refer to what aired the news just a couple of days ago. Back in December the governor of Arkansas released 360 allegedly light- weight convicts of a State Penitentiary in an act of clemency. Among those lucky ex- jail birds are several sex- offenders whose records were promised to be cleared entirely due to the pardon. What for, I wonder? To inconspicuously re- include them into society? Someone please tell me that this is nothing but a bad joke! Bluntly speaking, sex- offenders must be ex- and secluded from society forever not just temporarily! Just a few weeks back I learnt on the news about a nine- year old girl from Indiana who had gone missing and had later been found dead -beaten to death with a brick by her baby- sitter, a sex- offender! This death was entirely useless and unnecessary! What is even sadder though, society doesn't seem to learn from a tragedy like this.
After all, this sort of fate is unfortunately still shared by way too many innocent kids throughout the US. As a matter of fact, sex- offenders are an ever dangerous species that will premeditate, prey and repeat their crimes once served further opportunities on a silver platter as soon as included back in society. Many times, it seems, people are either too careless or generally just too positive about the nature of this sort of beast. Who in their right mind leaves their off- springs in the temporary care of a male stranger - who might easily turn out to be a sex- offender? On the other hand, we by nature put our trust in the hands of those who run the system, who are supposed to protect us from that kind of bad guys. Often times we are not directly to be blamed for gruesome happenings of that sort because we apparently just don't know any better. It is the authorities' job to clearly mark and monitor those criminals, however, they should no longer be embedded in our communities! How stupid is this?
It is Halloween, and registered sex- offenders are ordered by law to keep their lights turned off and to keep their doors shut and locked as not to endanger the welfare of all those many kids going from door to door to Trick or Treat. This to me is just like dragging meat in front of a hungry pride of lions and not anticipating that they will instinctively grab it! Please, share your opinion with me! I am curious as what you think of this.

Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...

The Evolution Of The Soul

The Evolution Of The Soul   - Welcome back to my blog! - Today I'd like to focus on the various levels of souls and their different interim steps, respectively. Altogether there are reportedly 35 different steps, 7 per level of which there are 5. Each single step requires at least one whole lifetime to complete, but since several incarnations end prematurely, are terminated too early or are spent in non- physical states, it does in fact take much longer than that to run through all those steps. Running through, I guess, is a poor choice of words in this context as the entire process definitely resembles more of a gradual growth rather than a speedy race, and so it takes well over a hundred lifetimes and spans over thousands of years at best. Just for the (spiritual) records, the soul's existence between lifetimes - periods that usually also take up some time typically used for the soul to return home, its latest life review, being healed and taught, choosing a new life, prepari...

Knock It Off!

Knock It Off!  - Round One. Bam! One punch, and down goes the man or woman. If the setting was a boxing ring, one could cheer about a clean one- strike knock- out and celebrate the victor. Unfortunately, the circumstances could not be any more different. There's no pairing up against each other, and there's certainly no referee to be found either. In fact, reality is quite the opposite with a bunch of teens randomly picking someone, -lately even women- ambushing their latest victims and aiming at knocking them out with a single blow to the head or face. With every new day more incidents are surfacing, well documented thanks to the quickly increasing amount of surveillance and closed- circuit cameras in public places. Those squads of thugs are believed to be primarily teenagers and young folks who are used to roaming the streets and who out of boredom came up with the idea of playing a new sinister and heinous game called "The Knock- Out Game". So, basically anyone wa...
