(Sexual mutilation, an unconscious ultra-racism masked behind religion, tradition, culture and folklore)
(PARIS) -
Whereas most cultures respect the human body, a minority (20% of humanity), destroys the specific organs of autosexuality (the foreskin, and sometimes the clitoris).
The frequent use of the same term to designate both mutilations shows that circumcision and excision have the same end. However, the horrible havocs of excision are only the tip of the iceberg of sexual mutilation.
All data was obtained from the Corporation for National & Community Service and the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

Paul Schied, commenting in the Harvard Political Review writes, "American Exceptionalism argues that the United States is the best at everything. This isn’t true. Therefore, American Exceptionalism is bunk"
Many Americans express pride in American exceptionalism; but much of that is nothing to be proud of. We’re ignorant and indifferent, deceived and deceptive, warmongers and empire builders.
American exceptionalism, Mr. Putin may eventually come to understand, lies in the fact that our ancestors came from every corner of the world---with every race, ethnicity, religion and language represented.Our free society---this great mixing together---has produced unprecedented creativity and ingenuity.
(WASHINGTON DC) -
In his much discussed Op-Ed piece in THE NEW YORK TIMES, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a lot to say about the concept of American "exceptionalism."
He wrote that, "It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."
My conclusion as an explorer of human relations is that "small talk" often reaps big positive results.

When much, much younger, I mistakenly thought that intelligence was what made me worthwhile as a person. My brain was viewed as my most important functioning organ, and so those feeble attempts to spout "knowledge" drove the engine.
I can recall how at age 8 or 9 my father would march me in front of other adults as a show-and-tell showcase he could glorify about.
