A few years back we put up a six foot dark green chain link fence (wooden posts) around most of our property because it is strong enough to keep out the deer and it is virtually invisible. We had to get a variance to do it, because some people were complaining it looked "too much like a Gulag." Actually that was not true, as my husband is originally from Russian and knows exactly what a Gulag looks like. Still, we got our variance because we threatened to put up something that would end up looking even uglier in a few years - like stockade fencing.
Now this morning I see a picture of Gitmo on the front page of the New York Times, and the fence looks just like ours, but taller.

Putin is complaining that the Western countries are meddling in the internal affairs of Russia by promoting organizations within Russia that are "pro-Democracy", but he has claimed in the past that he is in favor of democracy - not Western Democracy, but Russia's own kind of Democracy (whatever that is.)

What I mean is, why are there tears for visiting Egyptian students killed in a rampage in the US and little concern about the same type of event when it happens in the middle east?

so there is an email going around.well its asks where god was for school shootings to me god is everywhere it is not god that controls what humans do. we make our own choices and to me anyone able to kill another human has something wrong in their gene pool, i am not saying by an means they should be forgiven. but doesnt anyone see they wanted their 5 mins of glory? i hear alot of ppl talking about the killers and not the victims which is sad. anyways, alot of people are talking about dropping out of schools and children not wanting to go. when really
from feb1996-april 2007 47 different events 158 ppl killed and 92 injured in school shootings
thats 11 years not including the killers there are alot of things wrong in the world. the amount of suicide bombers rapes that include murder any type of shooting/murder the numbers are way higher than that in one year, in all parts of the world. do i think the schools should check for weapons upon entry raise awarness but not scare kids

Has mass media lost its mind? I mean like they are abusing their powers to the total limit and beyond. Why do they post information that is common sense that people should know and causing a panic by posting information about petty crimes and terrorist. Whats next, meteors coming to crash into earth? Im not saying that the mass media needs to be remove but their power must have some limit, without violating the first admendment.

Have you noticed in just about every picture -- they are covered up? Like wearing cloths all over their faces except their eyes?

Or it's something they just tell every country. Like how North Korea believes they are the best country. Really are we or what? And is it true that United States dollars arn't the highest currency in the world? I heard United Kingdom currency is worth more, true or not?

Which one is more dangerous. Joe Smith walking down the street past a school with his 9mm, concealed carry permit and X amount of hours of training in firearm safety or some Soccer Mom driving past a school zone in her mini van chatting on the cell phone with her girlfriend about the latest episode of The View?

There are many forms of torture that do not cause lasting physical damage, but inflict great psycological harm.

If you were in charge, and it was up to you, would you allow these tactics to be used against suspected terrorists?

What if you thought it was the only way to obtain the information that would prevent a large scale terrorist attack?

And what about this question... what about using torture against known and proven terrorists who are already in custody? People already convicted? Would you allow them to be tortured to get the information you need to stop a terrorist attack?

Personally, I would not condone torture in ANY of the above situations. I think it should never be used against anyone.

What do you think?
