...and we should care about this, why?

We should care Daniel, because we're not all self centered assholes in the US.

Believe it or not, some people care about the suffering of others, whether they're suffering here, suffering there, or suffering all over.

Perhaps we should care because it would help to shore up the claim that we are "a Christian" nation. Perhaps we should care because it shows what happens when people enforce the practices that this nation wants to impose. Perhaps we should care for the same reason that we should care about the death and destruction that we have caused in Afganistan and Iraq.

But I know, the only thing righ-wingers seem to care about is higher profits and lower taxes. Oh and more and more money for "defense".

"The worst government is the most moral. One composed of cynics is often very tolerant and humane. But when fanatics are on top there is no limit to oppression."
