More Kenyan Murder

It's a good thing there was never a Harry Potter book set in Africa. Just going by the latest news, I doubt if Harry, Ron, or Hermione could have made it out without being burned, hanged, or having their genitals mutilated. Case in point: today's news that 11 people have been burned to death in Kenya for being witches/wizards. You guessed it--they were all victims of an angry, ignorant mob. Police are having a tough time tracking down the suspects, as the local villagers aren't naming any names. And while it's tempting just to throw up our hands and dismiss these yokels, it's also worth considering that maybe a little international attention and active information spreading might curtail these kinds of horrors. After all, you probably wouldn't blame witchcraft for your mysteriously rotting penis if you could just search WebMD. More details here.
