Just... wow.
I have another post in the works but I had to put this up so you all can lose faith in humanity too.
With this reminder of our practically unlimited capacity for evil, comes a reminder of our truly astonishing ability to survive. It is my fondest hope that one day we will no longer be reminded of our capacities.

Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.
