I just saw
evi_13thchild 's post and so checked out AP.
'14 Minutes ago' the blurb was posted about the London blasts.
WTF is wrong with those people? I know all the sociological bullcrap people could spout to justify murder and destruction of Cultural Treasures under the title of Warfare but this sort of zealotous, soulless, completely unenlightened production of carnage and destruction is just way beyond my understanding. It's not a 'war' if 'the Enemy' has broken no pact, inflicted no real injury, and consists of innocent citizenry. I seriously think these 'idealists', which is what terrorists like to believe and tell each other they are, don't have any ideals at all...just the need to get off on the ego-high of incrementally and continously increasing the stakes of their total incapacity to keep their animal/destructive nature in check. The only thing separating terrorists of this sort especially from brain damaged rabid beasts is their limited capacity to carry out simple orders from higher up on the terroristic food chain.
Oh, and btw
evi_13thchild happy birthday, tomorrow. I hope that before then you've made contact with all of your loved ones so maybe you can enjoy the day and celebrated a bit.
