Congratulations Blogcritics!

And if you get a chance, listen to "Change" by Tracy Chapman.
I think these two songs have valuable lessons.
Peace. Please.
Real Fathers 4 Justice protestor gains TV stars' support.


While Simon Cloverdale was perched on a crane more than 250 feet above ground with his huge banner, Simon Gregson (who plays Steve McDonald) and Kate Ford (who plays Tracey Barlow), both actors on the Coronation Street TV show, came out of the Granada Studios to sign a Real Fathers 4 Justice poster and to show their support for fathers' rights.
Simon Cloverdale has been released from custody.

Thank you Real Fathers 4 Justice.
The original Fathers 4 Justice is alive and well in South Africa.


What this is all about
Sometimes people ask me why I keep fighting this fight. They know I'm misunderstood and criticized by people on all sides, including the people I'm trying to help. I have to admit, when that happens I ask myself the same question. But then I get emails like this one. My heart melts, and I get right back in the line of fire.

"Oh, and the rotting log was full of black carpenter ants. As soon as the water level rose to the level of the log and started to fall over it, the ants started to evacuate to the nearest dry land. My kids watched them for hours. Watched them scout out paths that weren’t flooded. Watch them build escape routes when alternatives vanished. Watched them cart out eggs to safety. And watched some of the colony somehow survive when there didn’t seem any plausible way to do so.
My son, cracked me up this year. He said, “We’re building stuff Dad; not the kind of building you do at work, building and re-arranging Powerpoint charts and going to meetings; we’re really building stuff.” … you would have thought we were building a moon mission."
