This is a post that I posted a couple of days ago that I started on Move On Peytitions.
So far it has only got six signatures and that is understandable because there are so many worthy causes out there, but I would really appreciate it if any of you could find the time to to to the site and sign the petition and if possible, send it to a couple of friends to get the coumt.
It came to me as a way to deal with the rage and hatred I that was consuming me after I found out that a general had thrown out the sentence of an officer that had been found guilty of raping a women in his house. The general,'s rational was that she could have gotten a ride home after the party but felt comfortable enought to spend the night as she apparently knew the hosts and the man that had assulted her was a happily married man and a good officer.
So please, just take a minute and to to the site and sign my petition

neither. Disgusting mindset for a so-called leader.
They aren't learning anything. They have no conscience, nor shame.
Thanks for sharing, pennylane. It is an important and too much ignored issue. 
On edit- You might want to cross-post this to the women's groups. More signatures the better.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
