It has been said that fundamental changes in civil liberty have been taking place since the war on terrorism after 9/11. These changes have challenged without resistance the very nature of how we go about our daily lives, and even the choices we make. The concept of ‘democracy’ and what it means to every man, woman, and child, has been going under an ominous change, not just in the Middle East, not just as a reaction to Muslims, but also as result of the nature of governance of all of us. We are being told in no uncertain terms; that we all have to live our lives in a certain way, and that way is being dictated to by those who have lost the power to govern/advise others with wisdom and foresight.

Parental Rights vs. UN Rights
The document "Africa Fit for Children" states:"Any customs, traditions, cultural or religious practices that contradict with children's rights should not be supported" The document even goes further to interfere in the religious practices if they are seen to contradict with children's rights; and here the judgment would be according to how children's rights are seen by the makers of such…
