EU blocking exports of death penalty drugs & equipment to US
With its legislation this week limiting our access to the drugs we use to kill one another, the European Union has just proven that if America is still a superpower, that designation must carry a prominent asterisk for how easily we’re humbled these days.

Pro Tip: Anosognosia /æˌnɒsɒgˈnəʊsɪə/ is a condition in which a person who suffers disability seems unaware of the existence of his or her disability. Unlike denial, which is a defense mechanism, anosognosia is rooted in physiology (for example, damage to the frontal or parietal lobe due to illness and disease). This may include unawareness of quite dramatic impairments, such as blindness or paralysis.

I’m no fan of the death penalty, but what with this “rest of the world” business. According to wikipedia, 58 nations still have the death penalty. And, furthermore, I don’t think it’s our national anosognosia. The death penalty is a pretty contentious issue.
Anosognosia would be a better way to describe the rest of the world’s love of soccer or the fact that Australians don’t think vegemite is disgusting.
