In just 45 years since 1963 you have gone from the civil rights marches to electing the black predident of the united states Barack Obama.

On January 20th he officially became the first black president of the United States and one of the first things he did was to declare that both Guantanimo Bay and the CIA interogation camps would be shut down within a year.

You might want to look at the site of The Pirate Party, who got a eu parliamentary seat and argue for fundamental reform of the field of Intellectual Property.
