"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."

Well, at least he won't get out on parole....

Villagers in Bolivia's southern highlands buried a man alive in the grave of
the woman he is suspected of having raped and murdered, an official said
Thursday.

Police had identified 17-year-old Santos Ramos as the possible culprit in the
attack on 35-year-old Leandra Arias Janco Sunday in a Quechua community near the
municipality of Colquechaca, said Jose Luis Barrios, the chief prosecutor in
Potosi province where the community is located.

Enraged, more than 200 community members seized Ramos and buried him alive
alongside his alleged victim Wednesday night, according to Barrios. He said
residents on Thursday blocked the road to the community, preventing police and
prosecutors from reaching it.

A local reporter for an indigenous radio station, who would only speak on
condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, told The AP that Ramos was tied up
at the woman's funeral. Mourners threw him into the open grave, placed the
woman's coffin in it and filled the grave with earth.

Colquechaca is a town of 5,000 inhabitants located 207 miles (333 kilometers)
southeast of Bolivia's capital, La Paz.

Also in Potosi, residents of the Quechua indigenous community of Tres Cruces
on Wednesday stoned to death a suspected thief and burned his accomplice alive,
Barrios said. The official said the two had earlier robbed a car and killed its
driver.

Lynchings sometimes occur in rural and poor parts of Bolivia where police and
other authorities are scarce.

airplane ear issues

Hey everyone, I have flown twice in my life that I can remember. Apparently I flew as a baby a few times (sorry). I flew from chicago to boston to visit with my aunt. That was on Friday. I was fine the whole flight until the initial approach. I started to experience the worst pain I have ever had in my head ever. My right ear didnt hurt too bad, but my left was incredibly painful, so much that I was shaking. After landing my left ear was clogged up , but it got better over night. But then yesterday afternoon it got clogged up again and healed overnight. The same thing happened today. I have tried the most popular techniques including yawning, gum, and trying to "pop" my ears by inhaling and then closing my nose and mouth. My allergies were giving me a bit of trouble Friday morning, but it went away later. The flight wasn't until 7 pm. I will be flying home on Tuesday and I will try the gum and yawning on takeoff and landing. If the issues don't go away after a few days at home, should I go to the doctor? Are there any other things that I can do to combat this? I spent an hour or so reading up on it and the only thing that I can come up with is either an ear infection or my sinuses acting up. I havent had any allergy issues being here. When my left ear is plugged up it looses most of its hearing.

As the title implies...stand up and post what you want to complain about life in general or get off your chest.

For starters...

Why is it that the person in front of me at the store checkout always seems to be one of the last few writing checks or searching their purse for the exact change to pay the bill? :angryfire:

Wild collecting

What are your thoughts on taking fish from the wild when the same species is being successfully bred in captivity?

Aquarium + trolls =?
