Oppression .................................................................................................. Tenthousands of people had to give up their homes in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Austria and Russia after facing the worst floodings since the start of the recording of weather information. Where can I donate money? .................................................................................................. Dozens of revolutionary activists are being imprisoned for their accomplishments of past decades. Equal rights activists who defended themselves against brutal police officers are facing the death penalty. Our prison system is crowded, not only with small-time-drug-offenders, but with activists. Is this democracy? .................................................................................................. In our system of electoral colleges, often the majority of voters are not represented at all. There are many forms of Proportional Representation , but the common idea is that you don't have to win the election to be represented. Representatives could actually become deservant of their name. For exaple, if 45% of people vote republican, 45% vote democrat, 5% vote Green , and 5% vote Libertarian , a group of 20 representitives would make up the executive branch, nine Democrats, nine Republicans, one Green Party, and one Libertarian. If you support accurate representation get involved ! Or look into other ideas, like Instant Runoff Voting ! .................................................................................................. In the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 7,000 people are estimated to have died. Out of a U.S. population of 281 million that is 0.0000249%, which means that in a proportionately devistating attack on afghanistan 0.661095 people would die. Needless to say, we have far exceeded that number. Thousands of Afghan civillians have died in the "War on Terrorism," since September 11. So, using the approximation of 4,000 deaths in afghanistan, in proportion to the Country's populations the U.S. killed 2,644.38 times more people. So as much as we understand how archaic the idea of an eye for an eye is, an eye for 2,644 eyes is cruely murderous. If you are interested in doube checking these calculations, you can find the raw statistics in a variety of articles and charts: Afghans are still dying as air strikes go on. But no one is counting , U.S. Population: The Basics , September 11: Chronology of terror , and Afghan Population Projection Tables
