It's not enough to merely be happy that we are here. We must also take measures to ensure that here never becomes anything like there. This requires becoming most unhappy any time you see anything that looks like the ugliness you think can only happen "there".If you tolerate free speech zones now, you may find yourself tolerating worse later. If you tolerate the torture of non-citizens now, you may find yourself tolerating the torture of your own countrymen later. Paranoid? We tortured American citizens who dared to blow the whistle on the corruption they witnessed in Iraq not too long ago.The slippery slope is real.

These are great from a marketing standpoint. It gets the messages across in an intriguing way that will make people stop to see what's being said. I may not agree with all of them, like the capital punishment ones since I think people need to be afraid of the acts they commit to have a safe society, but as a graphic designer I can respect their work.

We tried to give liberty and justice to people. It didn't work. See: Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.

AI didn't 'come out in favor of Hezbollah', it condemned both Hezbollah and Israel. You might remember (but probably not) that most of the victims in that war were Lebanese and that both sides targeted civilians (although a much larger proportion of the Lebanese victims were non-combattants than the Israelis. On the Israeli side the majority of the victims were soldiers.). Both sides were acting like savages and both sides were condemned. Simple really.Human Rights Watch recently condemned the Israeli indiscriminate violence too: "In its harshest condemnation of Israel since the Second Lebanon War, Human Rights Watch charged that most of the Lebanese civilian casualties came from indiscriminate Israeli air strikes, according to a report to released Thursday.Presenting the group's findings at a news conference, Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth said there were only rare cases of Hezbollah operating in civilian villages."To the contrary, once the war started, most Hezbollah military officials and even many political officials left the villages," he said. And indeed what we found is that most Hezbollah military activity was conducted from prepared positions outside Lebanese villages in the hills and valleys around."

That's not liberty and justice, that's death.
