This blog is definitely NWS.

“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.”
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
In a landmark speech in Geneva today, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for global consensus to embrace human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people everywhere.
Speaking in stark and bold language, Clinton denounced anti-LGBT violence and called on the leaders of anti-gay regimes to end the injustices faced by LGBT people. She told LGBT people worldwide that they have a friend in the U.S., and said their human rights are a priority of American foreign policy.
Clinton referenced a presidential memorandum released this morning by the Obama administration directing all U.S. government agencies engaged overseas to enhance their efforts to protect LGBT refugees and asylum seekers and enlist foreign organizations in the fight for LGBT human rights.
Clinton also announced a global equality fund to aid international organizations and human rights groups in their work toward expanding LGBT human rights.
This almost makes her likeable…
