THE PROBLEM WITH HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are a huge inconvienence to governments. It gets in the way of abuse, rape and pillage.

Not that it impeded gov'ts much up to now. It makes it hard to fleece for taxes and lock up and exploit and murder, so the less of HR we get, the more secure gvts feel. They don't really feel, you understand, but they feel that they do.

Palistine is a major reason for twin towers. Sudan is genocide. China recruits yahoo or google. g bush reads your library card and your SIM card. They feel secure that way. I or you do not.

They trust no one, and therefore no one can trust them, except to excede their authority. Any nonrespect of any individual is exceding their authority.

In this country we are happy. We have cable and a cell phone. It only makes it easier for them to read your mail and mind.

We are lazy. Write your congressman and vote against proto-Stalinism before proto-facism gets any more the norm. The Senate is sometimes more sensible; write there, too.

If you can think, you threaten despots and politicians.

So think.
