The world is full of fascinating things that have nothing to do with politics

A sickening crime
A few days ago three white supremacists in New Mexico abducted a young Navajo man and, among other things, forcibly branded a swastika on his arm. The perpetrators have, at least, been arrested and will face charges.
This is the kind of thing that sometimes makes me wish we could still sentence people to public flogging.
Yeah .... I was reading this on Ms.TNlib .... I was dumb as a doorknob on this ... I mean what would be the "point" of branding something like that on someone else? Especially if you were a white seperatist? Just draw's unecessary heat to the movement, sound's kind of dumb actually. Oh well .... that's just me though.
Racists are usually pretty dumb, but this is rather more serious than that. Branding somebody is a permanent disfigurement. They need to go to prison for a long, long time.

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
