    There is still slavery in the world, I tell you I would be more apt to support groups like this if it didn't seem like they were just made to throw eggs at the USA. There are REAL problems in the world and we should address them, much of the drivel that is being spouted today is unhelpful. Also why is this news for nerds? Maybe it is stuff that matters? More like crap for lawyers and liberals.
