I can find no greater valentine to offer you than the this film review of the life of Geraldine Cox, an Australian lady who worked for years to nurture Cambodian orphans. This documentary also depicts her and the children's efforts to save their orphanage in the late 1990s. So much of the valentine is the presence of Geraldine herself, as she brings every thing that she was, is or will be, every breath of her being to her spiritual journey and life's work.

The Irish Potato Famines of 1845-49: A British Genocide?
As we Irish [and all others--remember everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day] get ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day again with all of its gaieties, we should bear in mind the horrors of the last famine in Europe, the Irish potato famines of 1845-1849. Over 1 million Irish men and women lost their lives between 1845 and 1849, and a further million [the ancestors of the vast majority of Irish living in North America today]were forced to immigrate. This essay tries to examine whether the British actions in response to the famines amounted to genocide.
