| I'm glad someone else did, even if I never heard of that company. And more IS coming. Amazing out intelligence has stopped as much as it has, and will continue to do so. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who is saddened by violence and doesn't confuse patriotism with blindness. I know people of all walks of life, and brands of life, but none I've talked to deny we need to deal with these people, but all feel sad about it, and are clear-eyed about steps this country has taken and needs to take. Maybe that's the kind of people, regardless of particulars, that I've stayed in touch with. I'm amazed at the things I've read here from people I've read for a long time. "Nuke em". Yaddayadda. Nor sorrow. Nor dislike of violence. And the circle grows smaller. I reckon that's okay. Bloodlust will not be appeased. It is always wrong. But justice will come, and peace and safety will come. And some of our brethren will die, and some will live with blood on their hands. And those who desire secondhand blood will have to get over it. How dare they. "Nuke 'em to make me feel better". Revenge. So low. If there is no justice... no saving of lives... no necessity... it is only murder. So we are tested to see if we, too, are barbarians in our hearts. And this post is only for you. And a couple of others. It seems it would mean little to most. I've cried so these last days... over the ones who died...and over the ones who will. That there is violence and death. This horror in our midst and existence that some fall so easily into, longing for the days of the Hatfields and McCoys. Part of me wishes to be dead right now rather than watch it. |
