    Today, they would just give him a buyout and let the rent-a-cop escort him out the door.

    There came a day in his life when he asked himself, "What is to be done?" And he knew he was smarter than they were and he cautiously picked his moments. And I am sure his greatest wish was that he could have done more.


    Drinks in his memory tonight.

    People with legitimate senses of right and wrong seem so foreign to my young eyes, like glittering coins at the bottom of a well. When they die, I once more am left alone with the muddy waters.

    sentenced to death by the Nazis for treason. Talk about a badge of honor. I hope that makes it onto his tombstone, along with something like "63 years later, Nazi bitches."


    Seriously, "And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

    Amazing man. Sadly, the more things change, the more they stay the same:


    "In 1963, Stanley Milgram, an assistant professor of psychology at Yale, published his infamous experiment on obedience to authority. Its conclusion was that most ordinary people were willing to administer what they believed to be painful, even dangerous, electric shocks to innocent people if a man in a white lab coat told them to."

    Ben Brantley has an in-absentia death sentence for reasons he and the Khmer Rouge would like to keep private.
