This story makes me sikh.

In the backwards episode of Seinfeld the Indian parents told Elaine not to go to India because it was terrible place. I guess they weren't kidding.

Yeah but dissidents are like girl babies. Nobody wants them anyway so it's not really murder.

So this mob beat him with a metal rod for asking too many questions about corruption?

Sounds an awful lot like unions in the US. When you point out their misdeeds you often get bloody.

Exactly. Greedy, power-hungry scumbags are the same, regardless of whether there's a (D) or an (R) after their names. That's what things like the TSA watch and no-fly lists are REALLY used for.

You get used to it when working over there.

Things are really a mess. People in prison for there entire lives without trial, because the judge keeps dying of old age. Other guilty of murder in broad daylight never seeing the inside of a courtroom because it's so easy to tie things up for decades.

I should note, however, that the US has a treaty that will get you deported in most cases. So the odds of an American ending up in the system are slim.

For the not-wealthy population there is no justice, only a farce.

They tag you "Domestic Terrorist", wait a week, then send you to a Libyan prison. Everyone who knows you is slapped with a gag order. Break that gag order and you go to Libya and everyone you know gets a gag order.

It's called the "Liberty Freedom Eagles Rapture Your Ass With Liberty Act - 2007".

Coincidentally, it's also the working name for the new album Toby Keith is putting out in a few months.

Well, some people just call it the Liberty Freedom Act cuz that's what it fixes. I've heard christian conservatives call it "The Rapture". They seem very excited about it.

The "Clean Air Act" fixes clean air. The Liberty Freedom Act fixes liberty and freedom.

A catchy acronym is always a plus, but not always practical.
