Extraordinary Rendition

The CIA transportation of suspected terrorists to so called "dark prisons" for interrogation through torture not allowed legally on US soil. The website shows CIA planes that are tracked by citizens from around the world and displayed in an interactive simulation based on a time line starting in 2001 going to the present day.

I guess this proves we're not all as ignorant as or government rulers have hoped?

Evo-devo

Gore Vidal

I love the way this man thinks. The "Creator" would surely be proud of what he created. Oh humans....

What is it that makes us work obliviously? Makes us mow lawns, deliver pizza, or sit in offices while the gingerbread house, made partially from human rights and partially from nature itself, is being nibbled away by small minded glutinous, big corporation Hansel and Gretels? What is it that makes people, socially educated and progressively inspired, drop their guard like an elephant hunted by lions eventually conceding to the relentless attacks of the lazy and comfortable? The beast that is human nature?

Maybe, but I do think we need to be less "comfortable".
