Venezuela is killing off union activists who disagree with Chavez. Saudi Arabia and UAE plan to ban Blackberry use because they cannot break through its encryption software to spy on users. Domestic workers are abused, physically and emotionally, in Kuwait. Stoning of women continues in Iran (and, Brazil offers to be an intermediary!). Palestinians continue to live in limbo and their Arab neighbours do not really care. Journalists and lawyers continue disappearing in China. The US continues its great wall policy on the US-Mexico border. US right wingnuts continue to insist that gun-toters in parks are just exercising their rights, even as two people get killed at a suburban Seattle lake-side park. And then there is Sudan, Congo, Tibet, the Stans, Russia.
I think I'll look for the good news tomorrow.
