And then there is the audience experience when you actually get to present, I've never done a session when there wasn't at least one uniformed, armed officer of the Army present, makes feedback a whole lot scarier...

Where upstanding citizens will be, in a sense, tortured in a Gitmo kind of way while those in Gitmo will be treated better than fairly because of some fear of upsetting their human rights in one way or another. The fact is, the terrorists are the wonderful people that are violating our human rights by preventing us from enjoying many of the conveniences we have come to expect in this world. A world where the innocent are presumed guilty and the guilty are treated even in incarceration as if they are innocent. I think eventually we will live in a world of irony.
