The Stanford Prison experiment and the Milgram experiment are frequently referenced as examples of how through the action of perceived authority people can be twisted to do evil. However, one can imagine similar experiments where the students were conditioned to acts of unusual kindness.
Three corollaries: 1) a saintly society is possible; 2) people in authority, in particular, political figures and news outlets, bear significant responsibility for the bad behavior of their followers; 3) we all bear a responsibility to proselytize goodness.
“Clinton has continued to occupy that same space for the better part of three decades now, a one-woman culture war who plays the political game the same way the men around her do. But unlike those men, Clinton is chided for being “disingenuous” and a “political insider.” Everyone else just gets to do their job.”

I do agree with the author of this article and have refrained from any attacks on HRC myself in order to make my choice for POTUS, Sanders, look better in comparison. His merits stand well on their own.
This girl has to be remembered and culture has to arrive to the ignorant, cruel and fanatic people who are able to become killers only to keep children’s abuse as an accepted way of life.

In 2003 the Japanese went as far as to ban the ownership of swords (http://goo.gl/aicBdl). Needless to say that, during our days in Japan, we have never had the slightest reason to fear anything but the rain and a craving to buy silly stuff.

Chinese scientist claim to have achieved the necessary technology to clone humans
“The Chinese scientist behind the world’s biggest cloning factory has technology advanced enough to replicate humans, he told AFP, and is only holding off for fear of the public reaction.
Boyalife Group and its partners are building the giant plant in the northern Chinese port of Tianjin, where it is due to go into production within the next seven months and aims for an output of one million cloned cows a year by 2020.
But cattle are only the beginning of chief executive Xu Xiaochun’s ambitions.
In the factory pipeline are also thoroughbred racehorses, as well as pet and police dogs, specialised in searching and sniffing.
Boyalife is already working with its South Korean partner Sooam and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to improve primate cloning capacity to create better test animals for disease research.
And it is a short biological step from monkeys to humans—potentially raising a host of moral and ethical controversies.”
