    Timothy

    You're right it was unfair. I apologize.

    I spent two years in a place where similar people got away with murder and worse. My perceptions will always be colored by that. I dance a jig when they get theirs. I'll never be able to hide it.

    If you think that's shocking, you should see what I wrote when Ariel Sharon went into a coma.

    In any case, I'm really starting to think I don't see eye to eye with any but a few people here. I suppose many people here will wonder why it took me so long.
