What Would You Do?


What would you do?  Would you follow the logic of the FBI agent and condemn the torturing procedure or follow H in all his methods of inflicting human suffering? I think you should look at the reason for the torturing. Is one life, in the event that the prisoner is killed, worth the lives of many?  Some people will question if torturing really works to extract information.  I believe it does.  Some argue that the prisoner will say anything to escape torture.  This is probably true, but does it benefit him to lie?  Perhaps. in the short term he does benefit, but after his interrogator discovers the lies I believe the prisoners suffering will be increased significantly. These are current questions that are asked today.  If it were you, and you had the opportunity to inflict severe pain on someone in order to save the lives of the ones you love, would you do it?

Travel

W
e've been planning our trip to Arizona. As usual we try something different. Usually, on domestic trips we try thing new travel ideas before using them in foreign countries.
For example, when traveling to AZ via air we will be using new bags. When we travel overseas we carry all our needs in a carry-on bag and a personal bag. We've done this for trips on our four week trip to France and England. This way we don't waste valuable time waiting for our bags in a foreign airport. Time is valuable and  the best way to use it isn't waiting for your bag. So, we'll be checking out new luggage. This particular bag is the exact size as the maximum allowed by the airlines for a carry-on bag. It also converts from a carry bag to a backpack. We'll see what happens. We bought them online from Rick Steves
