• Today: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/police-shot-baton-rouge-louisiana-1.3682869 → Very sad; the tension is super high.
• Recent: http://news.sky.com/story/secret-911-report-raises-suspicion-of-saudis-10503012 → Everyone is defending Saudi Arabia, including the USA (CIA, FBI, ...).
_______
My friend Catherine (sweetest lady in the world), she once said to me: "Robert, we are privileged here living in Canada."
She was talking to one of the most broken hearts in Canada. But I know she was speaking for herself, without realizing my own deep suffering by the hands of my own people. They're not my people; some (many) of them. I've seen the injustice first hand in my own country in my own close surroundings.
This is all kid's stuff. We all have the wrong values, and we don't even realize it because we do the same without willing to change.
Not us, them, the people we gave our power for mutual respect, honor, liberty, democracy, decency, integrity and basic human rights.
Let's not hide the facts; money, power and control corrupt.

• Tough crowd! http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/turkey-detains-6000-people-after-failed-coup-attempt-1.3682787
"We hear your request. In a democracy, whatever the people want they will get."
The people of Turkey want the death penalty for 6,000 plus soldiers!
It's like Rome, and Julius Caesar in the coliseum! ...Thumbs up, or thumbs down.
___________
In other news many organisations want Russia banned from the Rio summer olympic games.
The Russians athletes and their coaches just can't break the habit of sniffing glue!
They all need to register @ their local detox centers.
___________
And in America .,.. we sure don't show the good example with all the issues.
___________
Then groups of audiophiles, like us, they join force together and argue about analog cables and digital turntables.
If this world is not crazy then what is it!
* I'm writing these few words with a tone that is serious, and also ironic.
We live with a human disease and we cannot get rid of it because it keeps spreading and growing larger and larger. And we certainly don't want to offend our neighbors and get involved with their affairs. ...All our world's neighbors.
It's much less complicated to be just audiophiles; that way we become simply observers.
And when the going is getting too tough all around we just retire to our music/movie listening/watching rooms, with our TVs tuned to the latest music and movie news.

I don't know the prices for 5-star hotel packages in Turkey though, per person. But I think the zero-star jail packages are free, per person.
And if Turkey brings back the death penalty in mass, that would make their jails even more affordable, and less crowded (five per cell instead of twenty).
_________
- At least 232 people died and 1,400 were wounded in the ensuing violence, and there have been mass arrests.
- 112 generals and admirals had been detained. Fifty had been remanded in custody pending trial.
- The interior ministry also reportedly dismissed almost 9,000 police officers on Monday, as part of a purge of officials suspected of involvement.
- That followed the arrest of 6,000 military personnel and suspension of almost 3,000 judges over the weekend.
- German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Mr Erdogan on Monday that Turkey's ambitions to join the European Union would be over if he carried through on a threat to reinstate the death penalty.

I'm listening to classical music on the radio right now, and I have been talking with Jack for the last few days; he's doing some work on the land in front of my lawn. Jack is a very nice guy, smooth, with two kids, and a great talker too; about everything inside life. He has a Marantz stereo sound system, with a CD player.
We talked about our music; he likes Cat Stevens, Steve Earle, Simon & Garfunkel, Kid Rock and listens to Alice Cooper's own DJ music radio station.
I like classical, jazz & blues. ...And much much more....world.
We've talked other stuff too; giants, nature, simplicity of life, America, Canada, powerful families, problems in the world...USA, Turkey, Nice/France, India, China, North Korea, Germany, Russia, Brazil...everywhere. We both agree that the world has to be united in balance, respect, dignity and harmony. That's a very tough challenge.
It's not fair that kids have no food, no water, no schools, no education, no medicine, no support. ...When in other parts of our world they have $billions and less education. Are you following?
I have watched several videos on police officers harassing civilians, on no control on guns, on extreme frustration leading to violence from all sectors of society, on disparity, on inequality, on violation of human rights, on injustice, ...all darkest side of humanity...the animal/human species. ...Race, religion, economics, demography, democracy...all that sort of jazz. I could have easily posted one thousand plus videos...in the last month. ...Hundreds just in these last few days alone.
I consider everything equally important, and every human being.
_______
Caution; the first minute or so has some graphic images, but they were altered as to not showing them the way people over there saw them.
I feel their extreme pain, and it's important.
