Turning the Upside Down

so, lauryn hill has this song, and it's a love song, and there's this line: "you're the only one who don't turn my upside down". i thought about all the people i love and might love me back, and it occurred to me that they all turned my upside down in one way or another, which is why i love them. so. my mantra, as it were.

seriously.

"The United States defended its record on prisoner treatment, racial profiling, immigration and the death penalty on Monday in its first appearance before a top United Nations human rights panel in 11 years."

you know things are getting bad when there's an attempt to defend oh, you know, normalized oppressive behavior.
usually these sorts of things don't need to be defended. but isn't that sentence funny? read it again. by funny i mean, tragic? progress, eh?
