Go Amish
Saw this post by Gail Simone (long time writer/editor for Marvel on New Mutants, now days working for the 'Distinguished Competition') and thought I could try to outdo her, but this is just too damn eloquent:
"The Amish Are Hardcore!
I'm dead serious. I always thought the Amish were joke-worthy, too.
But during this recent shooting, one of the older (but still very young) girls, tied and knowing she would die, told the shooter (allegedly) to shoot her first, hoping the others might have a chance to get away. Another girl told him to shoot her second for the same reason.
Then, at the funeral for the murdering psycho piece of shit (sorry, I am not as worthy as the Amish), apparently dozens of Amish showed up to mourn and offer forgiveness.
Dude, that's a thousand times more hardcore than anything hardcore I've ever heard. They make Wolverine look like a pansy.
GO, AMISH.

Not much political/sociological commentary in my journal so far, but Amen to that!
