Doubtdispelled, your link is to the photos. I really wanted to read the story, and I think this must be the one.

Besides the happy personal story, it's also good to read about the programs available to Pete (and other injured soldiers).

Who was the woman the camera kept cutting to?
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

She proposed/introduced the bill.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisa_Wall
Louisa Hareruia Wall (born 17 February 1972) is a New Zealand Member of Parliament and former national representative netball and rugby union player.
Born in Taupo and brought up in Waiatahanui near Taupo, Wall has Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Waikato ancestry. She was named after her father's cousin Louis, who died on the day she was born.[1] Wall attended secondary school at Taupo-nui-a-Tia College. She earned qualifications from the Waikato Institute of Technology, the University of Waikato and Massey University; and worked in the health field.[2] She identifies openly as lesbian.[3]
In May 2012, Wall submitted a bill to legalise same-sex marriage in New Zealand to the private member's bill ballot, and it was subsequently drawn from the ballot and introduced to Parliament in late July 2012.[5] On August 29th 2012, the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill passed its first reading with a vote of 80-40. On the 17th of April 2013, the bill was passed into law, making New Zealand the 13th nation to allow same-sex marriage. At the third reading, Wall gave a speech[6] likening the passing of the bill to Treaty of Waitangi settlement acts previously passed by the New Zealand parliament.[7] Wall said the passing of the bill was like winning a "World Cup final".[8]

Maybe it's a little thing, but these kind of actions by the individuals concerned expose and slowly eat into the power of theocracy.

For all means and purposes, this woman is a hero :)

Not really exciting but I met first patient with dextrocardia c/ situs inversus today. My prof said he encountered two in his life. My dad said he only encountered one. :smile:

Huh! Interesting.
She battled through in every kind of tribulation,
She revelled in adventure and imagination.
She never listened to no hater, liar,
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.
Oh, my my! Oh my, she flies!
