Läser Aftonblaskan om riksdagens beslut att flyktingar inte ska ha samma rätt till vård som andra i Sverige.

“– Det här innebär att livrädda människor kommer att särbehandlas. Det är obegripligt, säger överläkare Henry Ascher. Demonstrationer har hållits, läkare har vädjat och FN har sagt att Sverige bryter mot de mänskliga rättigheterna.”

“– Det här är absurt. Vi skulle inte neka Englas mördare eller pappan i Österrike vård. Det är inte vårdens uppgift att vara domstol. Så varför ska vi gå ifrån den principen när det gäller flyktingar som dessutom är svårt traumatiserade?”

Det är så hemskt att jag mår illa.

“– Vi gick till vårdcentralen för att få psykologhjälp men de vägrade att ta emot oss.” = Vidrigt

“Mottagningen har ordnat med en läkare som gratis tänker utföra ingreppet, utan att se till Marias ställning som papperslös.”= Hjälte.

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway.

It’s golden…

It was surreal seeing “my image” on a truck stop in the middle of nowhere in northern Sweden earlier today…

I just got my Cola-Cola and looked up and said “Oh!” staring for a while and then thinking “Oh don’t be silly”. But I am sometimes…

Insanity!

Read this article in the Washington Post…

Immigrants Sedated Without Medical Reason *click here*

“Involuntary chemical restraint of detainees, unless there is a medical justification, is a violation of some international human rights codes.” No shit!

And it’s scary how little respect regular people have for human rights:

“They obviously felt impassioned enough to risk their lives to get here, what’s to say they won’t do the same when being forced back out to where they come from?”

“They have no rights under American law. What has to be done to get them out of the country, so be it.”

“If you’re against it think about this…. I’ll come over to your house, break in and refuse to leave.”

And, it’s also funny these days how these young Americans sit and talk about immigrants, forgetting that USA was founded by immigrants! So ignorant. And think they’re better than these “other” people because they’re all “criminals”.

Also read the story about Mudey, here, it made me cry:

“Alone and speaking little English, the Somali woman arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on April 11, 2007, seeking political asylum. With no interpreter to question her, immigration agents shackled her ankles, wrists and waist, and put her in a van…* click and read the article here*

” - This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century — solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.” - Elie Wiesel

Hillel Neuer of UN Watch exposes the hypocrisy of the UN Human Rights Council. For the first time ever, the Council president rejects the speech as “inadmissible” and bans it from ever being delivered again:

Children are more powerful than oil

I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it.

She’s 5 today. She’s been through a lot and lost her father not long ago and there’s been drama over the years. What’s done to children, they will do to society. Children get very effected by screaming, angry people and I’ve done my best to make sure that when I spend time with her there’s no such thing. If you need to discipline a child, you can do so without screaming like a lunatic. I’ve gotten in trouble for standing up for kids but someone has to do it. No matter the situation or place. If you have patience and listen to a child and use some tricks… it often works out. I’ve had so much fun and learnt so much the last five years with this child.
