"Question Everything"
..Tag
This entry will just be a short of list of interesting things going on you may not get to hear through the American Media.
1. The European Space Agency's "Huygens" probe, which seperated from it's mother ship, the "Cassini" landed on Saturn's moon Titan today. It apparently hit solid land and did not splash into a body of liquid hydrocarbons (which would not have been good). The "Huygens" probe has sent back a strong carrier signal to the "Cassini" spacecraft orbiting Saturn and will begin to send meaningful data soon. It will analyze the soil and ice's chemical composition, looking for signs of life. It is thought that exotic forms of life may exist on at least a few of these planetary moons - Jupiter's Europa and Saturn's Titan are the two primary candidates, so this is a pretty big deal in our ongoing exploration of space and expansion out to the stars.

2. The Bush Administration is under fire from the NY based Human Rights Watch for crimes against humanity due to American mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guant'namo Bay. A new report indicates that many nations who once looked to America as a leader and champion of human rights are now citing American abuses and authorized torture as legal precedents for allowing the use of abuse and torture in their own countries.
Thus - what the Bush Admininstration has effectively done is move the Global Human Rights movement back a century by allowing and even authorizing the torture and murder of enemy combatants and suspected criminals. Not since before the Third Geneva Convention of 1929 has there been such lawlessness and a lack of respect for human life during warfare.
"This recent return to barbarism by the American military has been noticed by many of the nations of the world and many of them are now repealing Human Rights laws and protections, citing the Bush Administrations disregard for such laws as the precedent."
How sad that America has fallen so far under the bad leadership of one man.

3. Just like when ol' Sharky took up mayorship of the Shire - the skies over Hobbiton will be getting much darker and dirtier here in America. When are we hobbits going to rise up and go confront this usurper?
