Someone shot and wounded two Ferguson thugs while others were protesting.

It seems plausible that this is a response provoked by the systematic violence and dishonesty of US thugs. Nonetheless, trying to kill them (I presume that was the intent) just because they are thugs is going too far. It is also a self-defeating response, because thugs will use this to try to put blame on nonviolent protesters.

The UK government underfunded the NHS, causing a backlog. Now it is using that as an excuse to take another step towards its medium-term goal of privatizing the NHS.

Its long-term goal is to get rid of universal healthcare, so that the poor can't afford it.

Thugs in Georgia shot an unarmed man who was walking nude outside. The man was manic-depressive, which is hardly a reason to kill him.

It seems thugs today are quick to shoot whenever they get the idea that something might be wrong.

Egypt censored a newspaper article that claimed government departments don't pay their workers employer-taxes.

If the failure to pay causes the workers not to get the pensions they are entitled to, or makes the workers pay that tax instead, that is a real wrong — to the workers. Otherwise, it is not clear to me that this "evasion" of taxes from the state to the state really affects anything substantial.

The censorship of the article is a real issue even if the article's subject is not.

35 years from now, every year will be hotter than today's record heat.
