5/20/2002: Sierra Leone voter

05-20-2002, 10:16 AM

I've seen what must be hundreds of images of Sierra Leone residents with severed hands. It seems like every picture from the country has a handless person in it. Which makes me think about what a fucked up species us humans are. We know that it's wrong; there's no reason for us to cut another's hands off; and yet, there are those of us who will do it.

I'm glad that, for the most part, we don't have that sort of thing in the US. Same planet, worlds apart. It's saddening.
