    Watch the video.Watch at 20 seconds in, as the man beats the living daylights out of a burning wreck with a stick! That'll show it!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Pakistan minister offers $100,00 bounty for death of film maker...

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19690210

    "I will pay whoever kills the makers of this video $100,000," the minister said. "If someone else makes other similar blasphemous material in the future, I will also pay his killers $100,000.

    "I call upon these countries and say: Yes, freedom of expression is there, but you should make laws regarding people insulting our Prophet. And if you don't, then the future will be extremely dangerous."

    At one point, he even called for the help of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in killing the filmmaker.
    The powers that be within these cultures need to stop condoning and supporting violence, yet alone putting bounties on people's lives. This mindset is 400 years out of date and needs to catch up with the rest of the planet, quickly.

    This news from Libya is a turn up for the books, the locals appear to have ousted the militias and are condemning the killing of the consular staff, the quotes about not wanting Al Qeada or gunmen roaming around in Afghani style clothing is a step in the right direction, as well as them saying the US ambassador was a friend to Libya
