Any good books on the early days of coal mining in US and the conditions of our early miners? I know there was a certain amount of indentured servitude in the US with private armies keeping out unionizing activity around mining. Back to China, how ironic that a country that claims to be communist, where is supposed to be the ultimate worker's rights economy, sacrifices workers like chickens not even providing respirators.

Taking embarrassing pictures of armed, inexperienced, ethnically divided, Afghan soldiers. There's no need for a rule aside from common sense and respect for others. Once embedded you've joined their world. Act accordingly. 1st Amendment right don't protect disrepect in an explosive situation.
