Mr. Murtari has struck a sound blow by putting his body and soul where his mouth is. He is a doer. He is an ordinary little man who has taken on the mantle of a leader. An extraordinarily courageous action. His self-sacrifice has challenged all the moronic powers that have caused such chaos in our Courts, our marriages and child-rearing traditions. He is an heroic man. Many more of us will have to step up to the plate in civil non-cooperation and disobedience too. He shows us a way.
But the wider world would not have known of his highly personal efforts if Teri hadn’t told us all. Even extraordinary actions need to be singled out and publicised for anyone to notice them in this info-crowded age. So Teri, I salute and thank you, as I am sure Mutari does. He still persists and undergoes privation. Keep up the good work Teri. The road has a long way to wind yet.

The trick is to keep making our noise, our movies, our websites. We say many different things, many different ways, some do not hide their anger and some do not hide their dignity.
Some of the public knows what is goind on and what is wrong with it, we just have to keep increasing the number who understand.
