Man Kills Seven, Himself at Wis. Hotel
Ga. Suspect Could Appear in Court Monday
Lefkow case puts security in spotlight
Activists rally to save Terri Schiavo

wow this has been a week; killing seems to be the central topic to the consciousness of human beings. A pissed off bankrupt dude who was unable to use lawyers to get some malpractice justice kills a couple of folks of a judge; an alleged rapist takes down a group in a courtroom in GA hoping for some inexplicable reason to be set free; a woman in florida who has been in a brain dead coma is set to have the life sustaining electronics disconnected making groups of hermeneutically challenged believers fight to save her meaningless suffering filled life; and then, to top it off, a dumbass gets up in an evangelical church service and wipes out a family and a few others. Yeah those ten commandments are held deeply by these people.

I suppose it would just be another run amok story spreading across all this is the US hadn't been belligerently inticing violence around the world, and then excusing its worst manifestations as piques of war. I suppose we could chalk it up to too much game violence, if any of these people were actually under the age of 40 and were known to be gamers. But mostly i suppose that in five days all of this will no longer be being discussed in any of the main stream media again, thus making the frustration of insane pressure on humans to conform to ever tightening shrouds of mass insanity caused by a way of life so horribly out of balance and skewed towards a feudal serfdom to enshrine the rich all the more crazy.

There is the other piece of this that is even more bizarre. The idea that thousands of people can be led to hold consensual and simultaneous beliefs that are neither based on fact nor based on sound theological precepts. To keep someone alive in a complete vegetative coma is in essence agreeing to extend the suffering of that person, beyond that being and onto the population around them. Unlike the flaggelates in the middle ages, these post-modern versions of plague survivors, wish to inflict the pain and suffering on the living, but always on other living and not themselves. At the very least they should offer the economic opportunities for this vision of their doing their creators(and in this case that is a bunch of fanatical zealots) wishes. Make the dumbasses pay for their beliefs! See how long that lasts.
