After a second monkey turned up sick last week, authorities decided to destroy the monkeys housed in the same hut--49 animals...

In challenging America, we deconstruct it somewhat and this should be noted--activism could be potentially harmful for America. But the goal is to challenge America and its presuppositions and preconceptions for further growth, not to destroy America...
