Political Asylum from the US

This is just another example of the US being a tyrannical government. I must admit after reading the article that I am surprised that Kurt Sonnenfeld is still alive. The US government has proved itself time and again to be outright killers. The political fallout must be enough of an inconvenience to let Mr. Sonnenfeld live. I'm glad that Argentina was willing to step up and provide political asylum. If I keep writing blog posts like this, I may "get" to go visit Argentina myself.

"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Words are chameleons, which reflect the color of their environment. -Learned Hand, jurist (1872-1961)

What does all of this do to the best minds among the students? Most of them endure their college years with the teeth-clenched determination of serving out a jail sentence. The psychological scars they acquire in the process are incalculable. But they struggle as best they can to preserve their capacity to think, sensing dimly that the essence of the torture is an assault on their mind. And what they feel toward their school ranges from mistrust to resentment to contempt to hatred – intertwined with a sense of exhaustion and excruciating boredom.
