Sacrifice killings lend push for bill to eradicate blind faith - Mumbai - DNA

Hindus of All Castes and Sects Gather to Fight Proposed Laws Against Blind Faith

The Daily News and Analysis of Mumbai (click link above photo) reports that the Maharashtra Eradication of Blind Faith Bill has been given a boost by two recent "child sacrifices" in Nalasopara. Apparently this bill would make it illegal for a man to claim he is "God". It seems that this law might be a little overdue if such "God Men" are encouraging credulous parents to kill their children. Here's a bit of news to worried parents concerned about possessed children. All kids get evil from time to time. Don't freak out. It usually works out.

"Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them."- James Baldwin

The Observer - Ritual murder cases hit snag, Police lose morale

“arrests are made before investigations yet the law says arrests must be made upon reasonable suspicion.”-Justice Vincent Kibuuka-Musoke

Yes, human sacrifice is out of control in Africa. But ritual murder can also serve a more practical purpose. Read to the bottom of the link and you will find this astonishing fact:
"What is common, however, is some fishing tribes using the body organs to catch fish. He gave an example of a case in Oyam district where a body was discovered without a heart and liver, another in Kakira, and another in northern Uganda."

A Boston Liverpool Axis
Now that New England Sports Ventures has completed a very problematic purchase of the Liverpool Football Club let us fervently hope that the highest expectations of that ancient team's fans are fulfilled. Some followers of the Boston Red Sox are concerned that money will be diverted to this enterprise from their beloved franchise. I am of the opinion that a successful football operation in Liverpool will only increase the fortunes of the Boston Red Sox. John Henry is no fool. I suspect the recent spike in commodity prices has only benefited him in his base business and that is source of the cash for this purchase. As a Boston native I am curiously interested now in the fortunes of Liverpool. I suspect we will be enjoying regular presentations of LFC on the New England Sports Network. Red Sox fans should ignore the few soccer-hating cretins in their midst to band together and welcome Liverpool's supporters to an organization dedicated to mutual success.
