Keep the Shiny side up


Maybe some folk are finally getting it. Too bad it takes something like a murder to wake them up.

Quote:
A Brazilian rancher has been found guilty of killing US-born nun and environmental activist Dorothy Stang.
A court in the city of Belem sentenced Vitalmiro Bastos Moura, 36, to 30 years for paying gunmen to shoot the 73-year-old missionary dead in 2005.

Sister Dorothy campaigned for poor farmers' rights and to preserve the rainforest from loggers and developers.

Her murder followed a dispute with ranchers over land they wanted to clear for pasture and she wanted to protect.
