How Many People Died in the Inquisition? – Nathan Busenitz provides a solid answer. “Some suggest that just a few thousand people were executed during the Inquisition, while others project that there were tens of millions of victims. So how can the estimates be so widely divergent?”

Four Unthinkable Conversations – John Knight shares four unthinkable conversations.

I Feel Like Kony WonRelevant has quite an interesting article about Invisible Children and Kony 2012.
