America don't torture

By Robert Braunstein (Page 1 of 1 pages) 2 comments

I'm so glad I caught yah. There's a new memo On torture. Come on, Let's go off To the prison. Let's bring a brand new euphemism. How's about we try Enhanced interrogation; And thereby cause Advanced capitulation. It sounds good, It sounds like a plan, Let's ask the scum in legal And see if we can. We can drown them 183 times. If we just Accuse them of some crimes We can bang them off the wall And give their heads a bash. If we give them collars To protect them from whiplash We can make them stand for hours As long as there are medics Call it exercise or even calisthenics We can put them in a box And stick some bugs inside there too That should make them admit to something, Even if it ain't true. The lawyers say With their linguistic invention We can sidestep the quaint Geneva convention. Did you see Condoleezza, Cheney and Rumsfeld? They really love their work, Sadistic evil people, with a twist of berserk. If the prisoners sign a statement that They worked with Sadam in Iraq We can justify our, Glorious pre-emptive attack.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can't avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."
