    A different form of Imperialism?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-14740054 Here's to the "world powers" toying with other nations and people, to derive benefit, economic and otherwise. As long as nations are "controlled" in one form or the other, catch phrases like "freedom" and "liberty" are nothing but nonsense. At...

    While I personally thought this person was quite a corrupt individual, his demise in such a sorrowful circumstance was terrible. His stand against bad people should be lauded. Feel free to read about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmaan_Taseer
