*The Debatewise Blog

When finally I am killed, it will be the government that kills me.

Sorry to put a sombre glaze over the sheen of this usually upbeat blog, but it is a rare occasion that I read something in the newspapers so chilling it sends shivers down my spine. You think you get immune to it all, poverty, famine, war, but then something like this article pops up. These are the words of a man who truly believes in people's right to know both sides of an argument. He died telling the lesser known story. In fact, so great was his insight, he even predicted and told the story of his own death to draw attention to his publication, and it's freethinking content. I could write a really long post about this, but i'd rather you read the article.

And if you take away anything from it, I hope it is a profound sense of gratitude that you are able to access and research more than one 'official' point of view.
