Quote of the day: �If we can run a rendition, a kidnapping, a detention program, a torture program, keep it secret for years, and then when it is revealed, hold no one to account, what does this mean for the future direction of our society?� Edward Snowden made his comments during an Amnesty International event in Paris.

In a Facebook posting, Sean Doran mentioned a Boston Globe article about an issue in the greater Boston municipal area between Ben Edelman, a Harvard professor of business specializing in technology, and Sichuan Garden II, a local Chinese restaurant frequented by the community and the students and staff of and Harvard university alike.

This essay is about the potential for financial abuse inherent in such disjoint pricing and the impact potential legal issues thereof, and also speaks to the characterization of Sichuan Gardens as a small "mom and pop" Chinese restaurant when in reality "mom and pop" aren't invilved ere, instead an internationally known atrisial bartender who only 6 months ago wad GC magazine's "Barender of the year".
