Thankful to live in the USA

Have you seen this?  A 19-year old woman in Saudi Arabia was gang raped by seven men.  Because she was in a car with a male who was not her relative, but rather a student she used to know, she is being punished with six months in jail and 200 lashes.  She will be permanently scarred from those lashes, not like being gang-raped by seven men wouldn't be scarring enough or anything.

I don't even know where to begin.  I woke up this morning with a positive outlook on life, and then I saw it.  Have you seen it?  Can you believe the news this morning?  Is it really possible? The headline reads, "Goldberg, Shepherd to Join 'The View'"  Huh?  What? Are you kidding me?
