So lets try here.. since this greatly effects everybody in America, including.. CG artists.
I believe this is extremely important to share.. and at the very least I'd be more then happy to discuss.
The US senate signed into law, on this day, December the 15th, 2011, on the 220th anniversary of the signing of the bill of rights no less, the senate, signed into law, the NDAA bill ‘legalizing’ the indefinite detention of American citizens, without evidence, without a trial, and with the possibility of being tortured. Barely a peep of this in the mainstream news.. which is why I think it is important to share, as many are unaware.

This is treasonous as it destroys basic human rights, and the people in America should be very concerned. This is the power the vatican had during witch (terrorist) hunts!

Moderator edit:
While I really do not want to insult you & I fully agree this is an important topic, IMHO this is however too political for this specific forum (item 5 of the forum rules). So I'm sorry, but I'm forced to close this thread also... - HB
