Sanctions are “genocide”

During the course of the third US Presidential debate, both “leaders” wanted tougher sanctions against Iran. Here’s a take from a former UN official, who says Iraq sanctions are “genocide”. As an aside, I watched the debate live on the internet, & followed along on Twitter (for some interesting real-time perspectives)

eek books!

Imagine this situation: You walk into a book store, find a book whose title seems interesting, browse through it, & decide to buy it. You come back home, & put it on your bookshelf. A couple of days later, a book store employees walks into your house, & takes away the book, because they don’t like who you are associating yourself with.  Outrageous? Essentially what happened to Norwegian Linn Jordet Nygaard  with her e-book collection on her Kindle.
