S: Is for social equality for all

The time is ticking down and we are winding up the celebrations of one birth to a universal birth. I am pleased to announce that starting January 1, 2008 xplorefacts moves from a blog to an on-line newspaper. We will still keep this blog going but when you type www.xplorefacts.com you will be directed to a brand new site. That was always our dream for this endeavor. We hope you will continue to follow us on this journey of demystifying.

Before the ball drops and I make my list I wanted to show you something that I have known about for a long time. The origin of its formation may turn some of you off but it's ironic that a religion that most people put down still keeps Human Rights at its forefront. I am not a Scientologist but I do believe in this declaration and the work that they do on this subject. In October there was a conference in Los Angles, addressing global human rights and education. Key-note speaker Mr. Enzo di Taranto, the Coordinator of Action II, United Nations global human rights initiative, focused on human trafficking, a worldwide epidemic that now effects an estimated 29 million. I present to you our rights.
