I kept hoping that the photos would be revealed to be hoaxes like the ones 
of the British soldiers.  I guess I have too much faith in the ultimate 
humanity of most people to believe that such things actually happen.  We 
need to know about it when it happens but I am so tired of hearing of 
nothing but how horrible we all are.  It's time for me to go to Honduras 
with a medical brigade and renew my faith in humanity.
