I was getting coffee at 7-11 this morning. There was a guy there, I'm not sure if he was working or if he was a customer, doesn't really matter to the story, but he was REJOICING over the death of everybody's hated terrorist, Osama bin Laden. "It's a fuckin' great day for America. It's a fuckin' great day for England. It's a fuckin' great day for the Middle East. It's a fuckin' beautiful day. Fuckin' amazing."
Rubbed me the wrong way. I don't say he didn't deserve it. Course the fucker did. I'm just saying that evil doesn't have a face. The world is one person smaller, but not less evil. We needed a face, ten years ago. We needed a face to say, "You. This was YOUR fault." And yeah. It was. But that wasn't, isn't the whole story. Not by a long shot. And something as simple and final as a bullet isn't going to suddenly fix everything.
My auto-response was, "Handy that they managed this just before elections."
