Cyberbullied Politicos Want to Bomb Syria without Getting their Feelings Hurt

 British ministers of parliament are complaining of Internet trolling in the wake of their votes to escalate military action in Syria  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/nov/20/chuka-umunna-labour-mps-being-trolled-and-threatened-over-security

"It's just hurtful"  A senior British MP said.

 At least that is apparently how a constituency expessing it's disapproval and anger is now being defined. Showing it, by the way, over the same social media these politicians used to attract voter attention in the first place; the same Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram channels which these MPs  themselves use to cyber-blurt their every vapid sound byte to the millions of "trolls" who elected these carnival barkers in the first place.

Poor babies,  just wanting to be left to bomb in peace. Let's have a moment of silence for them. Remember, the first priority of post-Bush government is that these delicate hothouse orchids "keep the people safe."  In order to do that, they increasingly need to feel safe from the people.

But first let us not fail to notice where the culture of victimization has brought us.  Free-speech has always been dangerous; now it's being classified as predatory, abusive.

There oughtta be a law.

Latest Episode: "Why are we only Hearing about this Now?"

A massive toxic damn collapse which destroyed the town of  Rio Doce Brazil on November 5 has now reached the Southern Atlantic Ocean and is dumping millions of gallons of waste laced with arsenic and other toxins into what will soon be a sprawling 200 mi.² dead zone in already polluted coastal fisheries.

Why again has the U.S. media ignored what has been called "Brazil's Fukoshima" and its "worst environmental catasrophe in history?"

Why havent we seen this on the news before now, or heard of the U.N report which found levels of toxins in high "multiples" of survivable concentrations, and criticized both the company and the Brazilian government for a "defensive" coverup? http://www.mining.com/bhp-questions-un-probe-that-said-samarco-spill-toxic/

Yahoo news finally did a report yesterday when the Brazilian government sued BHP Brillion S.A., the mining company, for the equivalent of USD 5 Billion. http://news.yahoo.com/brazil-sues-bhp-vale-5-billion-damages-mine-034850784--finance.html

Potential big money trial...now we're interested.
