The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Abuse of Children

I thought this link from the National Catholic Reporter was very interesting.  The subject is sex abuse of children.  The first comment is also interesting.  And, over at the ¡No Pasarán! there is this 20 July 2010 post about this problem and mentions German Green Party politician Daniel Cohn-Bendit and with a link to a Der Spiegel article in English.  There the attribution is to the 68ers—the German 1968 movement.

As long as the institutional Roman Catholic Church continues to not fully explore this issue, it will persist as a problem.  However, as long as the larger society continues to think this is a problem isolated to the Roman Catholic Church it will persist as a problem in the larger society as a whole.  I understand that it is hard to face the larger issues.  If even Dr Sigmund Freud was not able to face up to the issue, it is easy to understand why others may not wish to either.  But, it isn't an excuse.  We know more that Dr Freud did a century ago.
