Legitimize Torture and reward war criminals
We never did that before. ''We tortured some folks'' but do nothing about it. Is not a sign of a healthy society.

The middle is not holding and the rich keep getting richer is not the sign of a healthy society

The oil companies are helping humans to destroy this planet is not the sign of a healthy society







A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

Is not the sign of a healthy society
