There's an article every day on hacker news about violations of people's rights in the United States. Yesterday it was about the FBI using gag orders to illegally get information about citizens. Today it is Obama violating the US constitution.

What are you going to do about it? What can you do about it? If it's not happening to you, or you don't know about it, you don't care. If it is happening to you, you're powerless to stop it. That's the genius of the whole thing.

as long as there are people who is ready to perform the acts of violation of rights or torture, it will go on. "Nothing personal, just doing my job" is a lie. It is always personal. The people doing it are enjoying the power over their subjects. It is human nature. You'd see it the moment you understand that any "inhumane" behavior is a behavior exhibited only by humans.
