One third of Britons think torture okay

Exactly, the 'them' [bad guys] and we [good folk] false dichotomy. They are going to learn the hard way, I guess...not that many will be tortured per se [though some may be], but that they will be 'tortured' by the collapse in economy, liberty, lawfullness, rights, environment, societal structures, and more...all now underway and given tacit approval by the sheeple. Some people simply can't see that we are all in the same boat and it is sinking...and that what happens [or more properly CAN happen] to anyone, can happen to anyone...and will eventually. The famous Niemoller statement is 10000% apt here. So, we as a species have learned [with some exceptions] nothing from past history and are doomed very soon to repeat some of the worst of it...in fact, we already are. ::face.palm::
