Just imagine what it is like LIVING here in the US where this type of insanity happens to the majority of infants still. And, in my generation greater than 90% of the men are done.
The sad thing is, people in this culture do whatever they can to even deny the existance of the foreskin. Because men are "uncomfortable" with the knowledge that they are missing something. Look at our male anatomy drawings in science texts here in the US. So far every one of them shows a circumcised penis. Without even acknowledging the foreskin at all.

I was going through my books a while back and I was very disturbed when I found a book on infant massage. I flipped through it and sadly saw one circ'd infant after another

It would be far less painful to avoid this area, or even thinking about these atrocities as happening everyday under a shroud of normalcy. But, I think unless we face it head on we can't make that much of a difference.
It's easy to remember, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. " So try not to loose faith. Thank God EVERY DAY that you weren't born in the US or even a couple generations in your country where you would have likely been circ'd....then do your best to help others understand how thankful you are that your parents protected your right to all your body parts.
(Anyhow, let me jump off my soapbox). I KNOW how discouraging it can be. I know sometimes we need to take a break for sanity sake, but I try to stay optomistic and think that justice and human rights will win out...soon I hope!
: good to see you.
