"Turn them away. We don't want them here."
Xenophobic voices objecting to Jewish refugees trying to escape to the UK from Nazi Germany, still echoing around these shores to this day ...

Some ppl protest against women & children being starved and slaughtered.
Some ppl protest against help being given to those fleeing persecution and wars.
Isn't the world full of the good, the bad, and the heartless ...

When the Cardinals seek divine guidance as to who they should vote for, it'd appear the wires got crossed for a few rounds before the message got through.
What do we humanists know about such matters - except that only allowing men to vote is a little odd to say the least ...

Politicians who argue ferociously about the definition of 'woman' & do nothing about tackling violence against women.
Politicians who relentlessly defend the unborn child's right to live & cut support for children dying in poverty.

There is a better way,
The more we switch,
The greater the impact.

It is the opposite of keeping outmoded practices without reason.
