We are toast, stick a fork in it

15. We were already there

When we started sending people, any people, no matter the reasoning, to foreign torture prisons and active war zones like South Sudan and who knows where else. Our Supreme Court literally said it was legal and ok.
We still go to work and do all our normal daily tasks and watch TV and go out and eat dinner while a guy from Guatemala, that just came here to pick tomatoes, is being flown to South Sudan and dropped off in a country he has never been, can't speak the language, no money, no passport and no way to contact anyone. In a place experiencing war and ethnic cleansing.
Meanwhile we are going through our days as if none of that is happening with our money, in our country's name.

That is the part I can't understand. We, as a country, seem pretty casual about the whole thing: "oh, we are sending more innocent people to be tortured and murdered in a country they have no connection? Oh well, let's go see a movie"
