I enjoy reading many of the entries of quite a few groups here, but I feel closely aligned to 2 or 3 and would like to take part in the activities of those groups. I have sent messages to the groups I wanted to join, but only one replied and sent me an invitation. I have heard nothing, neither an invitation, nor a rejection, from the other groups. Does ignoring a request signify rejection of a request?

This week is the 24th anniversay of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, but it seems many of us don't give it another thought. A few years ago I visited China and spoke with some college students I had met while traveling. I mentioned the events at Tiananmen Square, but no one had heard of the massacre, by the Communist Parym of peaceful students demonstrating for democratic reforms. They were either not admitting that they knew of the incident as they were afraid to speak of it or they had never heard of it. I believe they had never heard of it. I also believe that soon no one in China will ever know this ever happened, but the rest of us must never forget. It may happen again. Below is a repost from my blogSteveso Thinks.

Today many of us are engrossed in seeking immigration rights or civil and human rights or both. At this time in our history I feel it is important to look back at our nation's history of granting civil and human rights. I am reposting the following from my blog Steveso Thinks. Read More

Last week I wrote a post in my blog,Steveso Thinks, in reference to the failure of the Senate Judiciary Committee Gang of Eight to include same sex bi-national couples in the comprehensive immigration reform bill. I was really angered by Sen. Chuck Schumer, lying through his teeth about supporting these same sex bi-national couples all of these months leading up to the indroduction of this bill and then throwing them under the bus in the final hour. Sen. Patrick Leahy was the only one of the bunch that had the courage of his convictions and vowed his continuied support for LGBT in the full vote of the Senate.
