Human Rights Deactivist

This post was motivated by the fact that a Google search for "Human Rights Deactivist" currently puts this blog in the top spot in the search results. This makes me very happy. Like finding out you were famous for one day in an obscure, sparsely populated nation.

I felt obligated to come up with a working definition of Human Rights Deactivist: A person or institution which works actively to prevent others from exercising their fundamental human rights. I realize that this definition is pretty intuitive once you read it, but there you go.

So, recently, I've been thinking of people, professions, and organizations who would qualify as Human Rights Deactivists. Here is my list (in no particular order):

Prison Guards
Dictators
Elementary School Teachers
Hall Monitors
Wal-Mart
Microsoft
Rapists
Murderers
Thieves
Skeletor
Magneto
George Lucas
Michael Moore
High School Teachers
Islamic Extremists
The Teletubbies
Harry Reid
Voldemort
Environmentalist Jihads
The Euro
Russia
Uncrustables

This list is not comprehensive, balanced, educated or...really, worth anything at all. But I think, nonetheless, that it is a good list. Memorize it; it will be on the test.
