Cruelty is not a side effect, cruelty is the point, as long as we can convince ourselves it is to be kind. They say they don't believe in climate change but strict attention is being paid to the borders. What is it about anglo saxon culture that it so highly values cruelty? It might be Murdoch and the shock jocks I guess. I come from Qld, Dutton is a Red Hill drug squad cop with, as his mother said, a 'strong sense of right and wrong'. A punisher and a straightener.

Families separated at our borders asked for refugee status, which our laws allow for. The US broke it's own laws and procedures to do this and deny refugees' rights. Central America is in a terrible state.
