Yes unbelievable things are happening all around us and in the midst of that if there are men like this cabbie talking about women’s lib it is indeed refreshing to hear him.

Yes Bobby I really liked the way this man thinks. It is really commendable the way he has stood by his daughters’ wishes.

Just yesterday I read about how Boko Haram – a militant org in Nigeria, had kidnapped more than 200 girls from a school and their leader declared that the girls would be sold because Allah had asked him to sell them and that they had no business being at school! In this day and age, its unbelievable that such things happen and moreover people who propagate these ideas in the name of religion, get away with it. How can the Nigerian police not find 200 kids?
