God Bless The U.S.A. As They Say

Some people take it for granted in this country that you can say whatever you want to say, for the most part anyway without getting into any real trouble. In some parts of the world it is not the case. Take Afganistan for example. An Afgan man was recently convicted of blasphemy because he was critical of womens rights under Islam and he dared to say so. His original sentence was death. The powers that be over there had second thoughts and commuted his sentence to a mere 20 years in prison. If This is the kind of stuff that goes on in countries that are supposed to be our allies well then God help us all. Imagine going to jail for 20 years because you expressed an opinion that someone else did not like. The world can be a crazy place sometimes and it keeps proving that over and over again.
