President Obama Signs Indefinite Detention Bill Into Law
(ACLU Press Release)
December 31, 2011
"...'President Obama's action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law,' said Anthony D. Romero, ACLU executive director. 'The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield. The ACLU will fight worldwide detention authority wherever we can, be it in court, in Congress, or internationally.'
Under the Bush administration, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen detained on U.S. soil in military custody, and many in Congress now assert that the NDAA should be used in the same way again. The ACLU believes that any military detention of American citizens or others within the United States is unconstitutional and illegal, including under the NDAA. In addition, the breadth of the NDAA’s detention authority violates international law because it is not limited to people captured in the context of an actual armed conflict as required by the laws of war..."

As a society we worship money and cheer on the worst people in the world. Individual billionaires should be treated like corporate monopolies. when I was a kid. They should be broken up into smaller entities. I can remember when Bell Telephone was divided up.
Banksters are the epitome of vulture capitalism and epitomize the gluttonous feeding of the rich on the dying carcass that is the rest of us.
As a species we are literally responsible for an ongoing global extinction event, simply because a few assholes have an insatiable appetite for more and more shit.

We should demand a maximum wage and let a minimum one work itself out naturally.
It's so difficult to have a civil conversation these days because it's almost impossible to find someone who has even the remotest idea about what is going on in our so called civilization.
PS My comments are off because it's so often the case that the folks who know the least wish to talk the most. We're all stuck in a dystopian fantasy/SF nightmare populated by trolls and bots. ;)
