Cross Posted at  KOS and so, my homage to Andy Rooney. A collection of life's cunundrums big and small.  Follow me beneath the fold for the latest edition.

A few days ago this essay was posted on docudharma it concerns state sponsored terrorism and torture enabled by the DoJ, CIA and of course our President. My response to the essay has evolved into a diary about the roots of our violent, regime changing, torturing, death squad, secret prisons and extraordinary rendition school of foreign relations.  Follow me below the fold for a glimpse of our shameful past, present and future and when we stopped being the good guys to the rest of the world.

I wish to inform and hopefully to move you. I have gathered information from various sources like UNICEF, the United Nations, WHO, medical journals and relief organizations among others. The figures are often based on estimates in part based on verifiable reports because hard figures are difficult to gather. I tried whenever possible to use multiple sources.  You are invited below the fold where I hope we will  find a sense of proportion and perspective.

Do you ever wonder? Well, yes and so another foray into life’s conundrums big and small. 

You are invited to follow me below the fold.

Just a quick update on how the trip is going

Do you ever wonder? The catch phrase made popular by humorist Andy Rooney. A 60 Minutes staple, he is both funny and thought provoking at the same time.

Please follow me below the fold for my take on that age old question.
