“We hear from time to time about horrible human rights atrocities happening around the globe. Our government claims that it stands in favor of human rights, and our leaders are in the news demanding consequences for other countries that are abusing their populations. But there is a huge denial about how widespread and common these kinds of atrocities are in the United States, and that we are not nearly as different from other countries as we would like to believe we are.” BelieveHumansKindChildrenDifferentCountryStatesGovernmentUnitedCommonLeaderUnited StatesRightsHugeNewsHappeningsConsequenceClaimsHuman RightsPopulationFavorsHorribleDenialOther CountriesGlobesAtrocities Author:Lundy Bancroft

“There is a huge set of consequences that start stacking up as you approach the end-game. And even in terms of the ending itself, it continues to break down to some very large decisions. So it's not like a ****c game ending where everything is linear and you make a choice between a few things - it really does layer in many, many different choices, up to the final moments, where it's going to be different for everyone who plays it.” DoeDifferentEndsPlayMomentsChoicesGamesTermDecisionBreakHugeApproachConsequenceFinalsLayersBreaking DownLinearDifferent ChoicesStacking Author:Ray Muzyka
