My links of the day:
Stealing a nation – A new documentary by John Pilger, to be screened next Wednesday, reveals how in the 1960s Britain secretly and brutally expelled the inhabitants of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean – so that the US could build a military base there. Good times.
He is the conservative bastion of the US supreme court, a favourite of President Bush, and a hunting partner of the vice-president. He has argued vociferously against abortion rights, and in favour of anti-sodomy laws. He also thinks Americans ought to be having more orgies.
This was an interesting project. A guy handed out 32 disposable cameras to some kids in the Rocinha favela in Brazil. Some interesting photos, this one is just too funny.
There’s a project like that here in San Diego – it’s through MOPA and they give disposable and digital cameras to local kids and let them do their thing. I gotta find that website …
