It is wrong for any of us to judge this act, and keep in mind that all cultures are equally valid.</sarcasm> South Africa: Mob stones father at grave (Witchcraft blamed) News 24 (South Africa) ^ \| October 17, 2005 \| Riot Hlatshwayo Makhado - About 22 people have been arrested for apparently trying to stone a grieving father after his daughter's funeral on Saturday. His daughter died when she drove into a tree, but the mob accused her father of using witchcraft to cause her death, said superintendent Ailwei Mushavhanamadi of Vhembe police in Limpopo on Monday. The mob was part of the mourners who had attended the woman's funeral at NwaXinyama village near Makhado. They even went to the dead woman's home for food afterwards, but then started gossiping about whether she'd been bewitched. A number of them then returned to the graveyard and claim they found her father conducting rituals at her grave. "Apparently, her father had also believed someone had cast a spell on her, and was conducting a spell of his own to bewitch whoever had caused her death," said Mushavhanamadi. Police vehicles stoned But, the mob was convinced he was simply finalising the spell he'd cast on her. They blamed him for her death and started pelting him with stones. Police arrived after being told of a possible attack on the man and ordered the mob to disperse. "The mob started throwing stones at police vehicles and one windscreen was damaged," said Mushavhanamadi. Police arrested 22 people and charged them with public violence. Police were questioning them on Monday morning. It is against the law to label anyone a witch, warned Mushavhanamadi. He said the identity of the man and his daughter were being withheld so as not to jeopardise police investigations.

Wealth is not as concentrated as it was in the 18th century in America. A Billionaire is about as meaningful as millionaire was a hundred years before. Your ignorance is embarrassing. You choose to believe what you have been told because it makes you feel good. Peter, I am hear to tell you that you have swallowed a pack of lies hook, line, and sinker. Bush is a terrible president who's only accomplishment has been to make the rich in this country richer. The economy stinks, the war in Iraq is a mess, and his political appointees/cronies are exchanging shots at each other. As for your fables about the rich and my age, I've got news for you......I am not a kid although probably younger than you......and given the way you post, probably had twice as many experiences in the world as you have had. As for the rich, they are screwing over both you and I.......they get richer with every minute and now control more of this country's wealth than they did 20, 50 or even 100 years ago. There are countless articles on the subject but people like you choose to ignore them and continue to believe in the horatio alger fables we were taught when growing up. You are like the proverbial animal in the field waiting to be slaughtered even though you think you have free will and independent thought. Read the following articles.........I know you will think they are some socialist's plot to convert you. Unfortunately, they are the sad truth. Message 21767613 Message 21626495
