We are a country allegedly founded on freedom, yet we're routinely jailing people for weeks, months, and even years over a civil issue. How is this allowed to go on? We complain (at least we used to) when other countries detain people indefinitely without charge or conviction.

This is not news, merely venting, but IT’S ALL RACISM and ETHNOCENTRISM. And many other things, of course. As a teacher of history, it’s so frustrating that we are in the middle of a huge global upswing in racism. Particularly disturbing when the two greatest nuclear powers are leading the way.
