Marathon Bomb

[OZMDD]

What exactly has the world devolved to when the acts of supposedly "principled" individuals acting for a "cause" choose the weak and most vulnerable targets to exact their pound of flesh? Who do they think is looking on from afar and saying "boy, he/she sure showed THEM," or "That really gives credibility to our cause."

Can we please end the politically-correct "everybody matters" bullshit and start teaching everyone from an early age that offing yourself in the woods is a perfectly acceptable solution to being a human failure? If they are miserable, broke, angry, hopeless, etc. and see no point in going-on with the world, don't take-down others, just go pick a fight in Afghanistan or something, jump off a cliff, play with rattlesnakes, whatever.

Fuck you, coward, whoever you are.

Unfortunately, this is the time of year year when all of the crazies come out of hibernation. Remember, Friday is April 19th- anniversary of Waco and OKC.

Strap a bomb to the ass holes who did this. Trigger it when a set number is entered. Connect it to a random number generator and a dead man's switch. That way they don't know when the thing will go off or they can choose to release the switch and get it over with. Of course the display needs to be in plain sight so they can watch it.

I like Patton Oswalt's comment:

Boston. Fucking horrible.

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."

Good quote.

OK fine but as one of the "Good People" I'm getting tired of these sick bastards trying to kill me or my family members for no apparent reason.....

A guy in my class today, who sounded a lot like Si on Duck Dynasty, pointed out that for everyone of the monsters involved in this, he saw dozens rising to the occassion and helping people in need.

We believe that everything's getting better
despite evidence to the contrary.
The evidence must be investigated.
You can prove anything with evidence.

We believe that man is essentially good.
It's only his behaviour that lets him down.
This is the fault of society.
Society is the fault of conditions.
Conditions are the fault of society.

IMHO, evil has been in the world since the beginning. What matters is how you deal with it.

We are at the March For Babies in Ardmore, OK this morning. The Carter Co. SO bomb dog is making its way around the park sniffing the trash cans. What a world.
