Hopes and prayers with the families of the dead and injured at the Boston Marathon today.
I am so sickened by this...
The United States of America appears to be enemy to more people than it is friend...
I do hope they catch these cowards..
Jeff it sounds like this "smarter than you" conservative likes to throw people into groups, well my guess is whom ever did this cowardly act will neither align with you or me...we may disagree on how we handle what the punishment should be when this all shakes out but that's another story..A suggestion for you Craig, written by a smarter man (and a very conservative one) than me:
There are a lot of people right now hoping that the Boston bomber doesn't look and think like they do, and others that hope that that asshole looks and thinks like group X so they can tell us that they told us so. And that's why terror can be so successful, because it preys on people's fears, if you let it.
WOW...I guess the captin stopped at Jeff's house 1st:laugh:This helped some:
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."
But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.
But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.
But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."
