When I speak my mind about things I have opinions about, I normally get myself in trouble. For example, when I tell people I am a skeptic—they look at me funny and start ignoring what I say. Today, I saw this video and was appalled. USA has some messed-up politics, but we have a pretty spectacular constitution when compared to other governments around the world.
Apologies for the graphic nature of this, but it needs to be seen. I don’t know the context of this event or the outcome, but if this is a good representation of the state of the government in Iran, I fear many more atrocities are taking place.
As a programmer in the US, I often obsess over little things like whether to use tabs or spaces in a PHP file, or why Internet Explorer 6 renders some CSS so terribly. And while I have the right to, sometimes I feel like I should be doing more. So since I have control over this blog, I share this video with you with the hope that the basic rights these people need may be granted to them.
