    omooex

    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.

    No, I don't think that's shocking. You can tell, of course, that I've never been in a similar situation. I have no such experience. I cannot comment on that (how dare I? Why would I? I would not.).

    It is a miserable world. I will do what I can to make it less so.
