    ‘traffik is graffic’ How do we change a perspective that sees a person as a commodity? Thank you, Stopthetraffikglobal for the reminder, ‘People shouldn’t be bought and sold’ and for this video, ‘that’s us. that’s we.’ Some of us live as consumers. Some of us live as the consumed. The great irony: in the end, all…

    When you sell people, you get a bargain. The maintenance is relatively cheap – a human can live and function with remarkably small amounts of cheap food.

One of those lost teens from marginalized homes who suck up…

      Live missionING! Doesn’t make sense: ‘live missionING’.  You’ve created a new word. Don’t mess with the language. Leave it alone. If you aren’t Shakespeare, don’t fix it. Mission is a place.
