UK thugs kick man after tasing him

mercredi 10 juillet 2013 à 14:00

UK thugs tased a man, then kicked him after he fell on his face. Apparently he had not complied with an order to "put his hands up". Perhaps the tasing left him unable to move.

Reportedly the man was trying to steal food. Stealing is bad, in general; but there is an exception: anyone unable to get food to eat, in a land with plentiful food, is entitled to take food to eat.

It's possible this man had food to eat, and was taking something fancy that he did not need. That would be wrong. But if he was going hungry for want of food, that is the state's fault, and there was no reason he should starve when food was to be had.

Another idea that occurs to me, as a last resort: cut off all but the root of the elephants' tusks, and attach ceramic prostheses for them to use instead.

Obama ceases to speak about creating jobs to fight global heating

mercredi 10 juillet 2013 à 14:00

Obama talks about the danger of global heating, but has given up on proposing to create jobs by addressing that danger.

My analysis of the reason is slightly different. Unemployment is still a great problem in the US, but Obama sees no need to even talk about trying to address it.

Ellsberg says Snowden was right to flee

Daniel Ellsberg says that Snowden was right to flee; the Obama regime has no respect for legal rights when it is out to get someone.

No one has an obligation to face unjust prosecution by an evil regime.
