Guy makes Putin practically look like the Dalai Lama (who lives in Atlanta btw).
The biggest surprise of this is I did a report back in college on the overall business and marketing climate in Turkey where I actually got a chance to speak about the country with actual Turks. What I learned at the time was that it was unfair to compare Turkey to the rest of the Middle East in terms of rights. However it seems like the leaders are dragging the country further and further away from the EU and more towards the rest of the Middle East.
Unreal. This is fantastic bad news .... Wait - nevermind.
I once had dinner with the hare krishnas in Atlanta.
Edit: that is seriously scary shit. This world is effed up.
