10th December is UN Human Rights Day. Here's a reminder of your fundamental human rights, as per the UN Declaration of Human Rights 1948.
And we see them broken and abolished every single day around the world.

Absolutely HORRIFIC that the genocidal maniacs are allowed to partake.. in anything really!!!
This pandering to a country who openly and gleefully butchers thousands of innocent people reminds me of a certain Olympic Games in 1936 to be honest!!

I've been listening to CSNY 74 today and was blown away by this track from Neil Young. It originally appeared on 'On The Beach' but here is the version from 'Archives II'

Asylum seekers have told of how they were followed by men on motorcycles before being subjected to an alleged attack in rural Co Dublin yesterday.

The incident – which saw the young men beaten and their car windows smashed – has been condemned.

Perhaps my favourite—the haunting 'River Man':

Gonna see the river man
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
For lilac time
If he tells me all he knows
'Bout the way his river flows
And all-night shows
In summertime
