    Witches being burned in Kenya

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7413268.stm

    A former poster, seemed to take the tact that all these evil people and unpunished crimes against liberty have dragged America into an abyss that makes him long for the good-old days.

    I'm being a bit facetious, but the good old days are alive and well in Kenya apparently. Can anyone believe this can happen in 2008 -- no matter how backward the society? Why can't the world become liberal and enlightened enough to not be insane, despotic and instead put a premium on individual rights without everyone looking for their voodoo scapegoats to work the unthinking masses into a frenzy?

    Would be nice, but so long as China is evolving into the 800-pound gorilla, unlikely.

    You know someone could hit that about 550' to straightaway centre, right? :)

    Way, way, too easy. I'll wait for something better.

    Besides, this is the new board. We have to make sure we don't hurt people's feelings.

    What makes you so sure they're not witches?

    I know a witch when I see one... It's all in the distance between the eyes.
