The Future of Torture

   The waters are already being muddied. Is what we did torture? Even if it was, was it effective? Some say this, others say that.

   We either accept that torture is, rationally, a poor way to get information, or we don't. We either consider it an immoral crime against humanity, or not.

   We won't. We will learn to accept it as the new norm. Yeah, we're that shallow.

   Funny thing. The defenders of this new reality are more often the people that claim that there are moral absolutes. That society is sliding backwards because of gay rights, or pot, or disrespect for authority, or "Hollywood Values", or liberalism, or whatever.

   I would think that we would be more concerned about the law becoming meaningless when we can make such a mockery of human rights in favor of raw power.

   But, we won't.

  We now get to witness the end of democracy and civilized society. Brought to you by people that went to the finest schools and dressed in the finest clothes.

GOP Nominee Pt. 1

  The nominee for President will not be Ben Carson. He may even be encouraged by his standing after Iowa, though I doubt he will make it even that far. His brand of lunatic rhetoric won't play to any but the basest of the base in the GOP.

  It will be among Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, and a handful of other "moderate" candidates. I put the word "moderate" in quotes because....well... you know... The hard core clown car, starting with the likes of Rand Paul and getting more extreme and insane from there, will devour each other. It will be fun to watch. But a tempest in a pot full of teabags (so to speak).

Darren Wilson Will...

...cash in on this whole thing if he wants to. Ghost writer to write "his side", a publicity campaign...He's famous now. The all-American dream. Fame for all the wrong reasons. Wealth will follow.
Somewhere, more than a few people are working the angles on this thing already.

Indictment?

9:09 EST awaiting the decision from Ferguson. My guess? Wilson will not be indicted. If George Zimmerman got off, why even try a cop?

Any moment now...

Update. No indictment. I got it right. Whoop-de-doo. Me and EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD...
Now we get to see if the real fun begins.

Bond Villains

http://www.cbsnews.com/media/10-of-the-worlds-most-expensive-homes/10/

If there were any justice, or "karma" in the world, we would come to know all the billionaires of the world as villains in a James Bond movie, and we would have a Bond or two to take them down.

But we refuse to recognize them for what they are. And our "Bonds" are people like Edward Snowden, and whistleblowers all over the world , who are thought of as radical outcasts and lawbreakers.

There is no "karma", there will be no justice. And the Blofelds, Daxes, and Goldfingers of the world will just gain more wealth and power.

Christian Projection

No gay rights advocate has ever killed, nor beheaded a Christian in the name of gay rights. Can anti-gay rights Christian activists claim the same thing about gays? Oops. Fuck-twit.

Let's have everyone quit all this complaining about it being such a cold winter. This is NOT a cold winter. I repeat, THIS IS NOT A COLD WINTER!
(It's still fall, and it's one fuck of a cold fall!)
