Google Earth Highlights Darfur

Posted by samzenpus on from the genocide-from-space dept.

jc42 writes "Google Earth, in cooperation with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum now presents details of the growing disaster in Darfur. They give a virtual tour of the area, with details of events in many villages in the words of local residents. So in addition to their "Do no evil" motto, they apparently now have a policy of exposing evil. Needless to say, the Sudan government didn't exactly cooperate with this project."

    Carl Sagan was an educated fool. His criticism of the Golden Rule that you describe is based on the erroneous assumption that there is not a righteous omnipotent God.
