To know that someone loves you
to know that someone does care
Is enough to bring comfort
when life seems so unfair
No matter what the trouble
love can ease the pain
It soothes the hurt
keeping a person sane
It`s that knowing
that gives strength and hope
for in knowing we are loved
we are able to cope
When you love someone
Showing them that you care
it brings them comfort
when life seems so unfair
When two people love eachother
Showing that they care
Its the greatest comfort
Beyond compare

Penpal for Jack
Posting this for Jack Friend, who would like to have a penpal:
POEM - For The Sake of Love For the sake of love you can help me, for I am so lost and all alone without someone to be in love with and in love with the idea of being in love!
I once was in love, and I once was in love with the idea of being in love, but . . .
I was young and dumb and did not know if I was in love, or if I was just in love with the idea of being in love. The answer was painfully learned over the passage of time to be that if I was in love then I must have also been in love with the idea of being in love. For is not being in love with the idea of being in love a part of being in love? It matters not now that I did not know then. If I was in love? Or in love with the idea of being in love? For both the love from before and the love of the idea of being in love are long since gone along with the one that I was in love with, and in love with the idea of being in love with.
For the sake of love can you help me? For since they have left me so all alone and loveless for so long with only the sorrowful memories of being in love, and being in love with the idea of being in love . . .
I am constantly wondering from day to day and throughout the lonely nights . . .
If everyone else can find someone else to be in love with, and in love with the idea of being in love with . . .
Will I ever be in love with someone else again? And will I ever become in love with the idea of being in love with someone else again?
For the sake of Love can you help me, to find someone else to be in love with, and in love with the idea of being in love with, who will be in love with me, and in love with the idea of being in love with me?
For the sake of love can you help me, for I am so lost and all alone without someone to be in love with , and in love with the idea of being in love with!

Just a quote....
"Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy."

Events of the Italian Coalition Against the Death Penalty
The Italian Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NPO) was founded in Naples in 1997.
Our vision : A world where human rights and needs are respected.
Our mission: To educate and raise public awareness of respect of all human beings.
Our motto : Together We Will Win!
The association's goal is to provide news and information to the Italian and International community on human rights, legal and social issues and primarily on the use of capital punishment worldwide. Its founders have proper educational backgrounds and expertise and have been dedicating their time and efforts to the cause for many years.
We pay particular attention to the situation in the United States of America, being the only Western democracy that still applies the death penalty as a means of punishment.
Our opposition to the death penalty is unconditional, as we are convinced that the respect of human rights be an unquestionable top priority and that justice cannot be pursued by taking revenge, but by conducting the forces operating in society in a just and well-balanced way.
Each community must be in a position to assure its members certainty of punishment and above all equitable and rightful legal proceedings, but it also has to enable offenders to rehabilitate themselves – whenever possible – thus balancing the legitimate need for justice for the families of the victims of violent crime, and the respect of the very same values which demand an act of justice. The imposition of the death penalty negates modern concepts of penology which are based on the theory that rehabilitation of the individual criminal is possible.
We are in direct contact with several men and women sitting on death in the USA as well as in other countries.
Our educational activities are being held mainly in schools and universities, religious and lay associations, and within groups / organizations that work in defense of human rights. As our target audience is mainly composed of young people, we mostly use the Internet as a way of communication.
In Italy we work with the Sant’Egidio Community, Hands Off Cain, Amnesty International, as well as any other groups, associations and individuals who share our same principles and goals. We are founding members of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty through which we help develop protest campaigns at an International level.
We provide news through our mailing list which is updated on a daily basis; Furthermore a great deal of useful information, bibliography and filmography on such topics as well as rules and advice on how to correspond with a death row prisoner can be found in our web-site.
The Coalition members, besides being all volunteers full of goodwill, are bound by a strong friendship and respect. We believe that there is strength in numbers and that working together is the winning strategy thanks to which we shall reach the final goal, that is the abolition of the death penalty and the respect for the rule of law worldwide.
