You kill 93 innocent children, and I don't give a smile about whether or not your mommy hugged you, or how soft your fabric softener makes your underwear.
At that point I care about the punishment and whether or not it functions as a deterrent to others.
I don't care about this person. His rehabilitation is not of interest to me.

I will keep that in mind as we head towards the "upcoming future."

What is your need to equate this tragedy to anything happening in America? Don't you think that rabid political responses on either extreme could cause this kind of problem?
I tried real hard to remember the last time a rabid Liberal extremist who loves guns and hates Christians caused this kind of problem anywhere. I'm sure some on the forum have the names on the tip of their tongues and will share. But it didn't really surprise me that a conservative who hates muslims and loves guns killed 93 people. The same mindset is at work here and is all over the nets.

Good example: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/07/anders_breivik_unabomber.html Anders Breivik Plagiarized Ted Kaczynski America seems to be exporting it's moral and spiritual bankruptcy..... But a lousy comparison, BEE BEE. "For instance, Kaczynski wrote: "One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general." Breivik's manifesto reads: "One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is multiculturalism, so a discussion of the psychology of multiculturalists can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of Western Europe in general." Ted's imprisonment wasn't much of a deterrent to other one's?

Fundamentalism Kills by Chris Hedges http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/fundamentalism-kills-by-chris-hedges/"The battle under way in America is not between religion and science. It is not between those who embrace the rational and those who believe in biblical myth. It is not between Western civilization and Islam. The blustering televangelists and the New Atheists, the television pundits and our vaunted Middle East specialists and experts, are all part of our vast, simplistic culture of mindless entertainment. They are in show business. They cannot afford complexity. Religion and science, facts and lies, truth and fiction, are the least of their concerns. They trade insults and clichés like cartoon characters. They don masks. One wears the mask of religion. One wears the mask of science. One wears the mask of journalism. One wears the mask of the terrorism expert. They jab back and forth in predictable sound bites. It is a sterile and useless debate between bizarre subsets of American culture. Some use the scientific theory of evolution to explain the behavior and rules for complex social and political systems, and others insist that the six-day creation story in Genesis is a factual account. The danger we face is not in the quarrel between religion advocates and evolution advocates, but in the widespread mental habit of fundamentalism itself. We live in a fundamentalist culture. Our utopian visions of inevitable human progress, obsession with endless consumption, and fetish for power and unlimited growth are fed by illusions that are as dangerous as fantasies about the Second Coming. These beliefs are the newest expression of the infatuation with the apocalypse, one first articulated to Western culture by the early church." TTC is wearing his Christopher Hedges mask!!!!

He was a terrorist. It matters not what his religion or the color of his skin is. Soon he will be painted by MSNBC as a misunderstood youth, who never really had a strong father figure. His short experience in the military exposed him to strong anti Muslim sentiments, causing him to withdraw and seek solace in his faith. After his exposure in 2010 as a conscientious objector, he became the victim of a rash of hate mail and threats from right-wing organizations. This made it hard to get a girlfriend so he decided to kill a bunch of people. . . . something like that. Give it a couple of days.

Teatown like groups. He likes to sort people by income, race, religion, gender, disability, education, and sexual persuasion. It is his food.

If that's the case, then what we have in here is the pinnacle of stereotypical mindlessness.

I remember the good old days when gaspar and I would interject recipes into heated discussions. His stubborness over his clearly flawed macaroni and cheese recipes made his views pale to my superior cheese and macaroni masterpieces.

May I suggest rotini with a cheese sauce made from smoked provolone, lightly seasoned with onions and garlic, and topped with finely diced proscuitto? Serve with a nice white wine, a garden salad, and freshly baked Italian bread. I'm hungry.
