If you'd like to meet an interesting cross-section of people as the basis for writing a book, I highly recommend working in any retail environment.  You'll meet grifters, con-men, thieves, demanding and entitled brats, wackos, nymphos, and many, many more.

I've done that, and I worked in a psychiatric hospital for a few years.  We had one genuine sociopath, and I truly hope that none of us ever encounter another one.  In an earlier time, he would have been burned at the stake.  The guy was soulless and devoid of emotion.  He could cut your throat and walk away singing.  He was the only patient that frightened me.

Too bad one has to deal with the grifters, con men, thieves, brats, etc. just to get to be around the nymphos.

Now this is how a conservative public figure should deal with the leftist defamation that those on the right that espoused "vitriolic speech" somehow caused the Tucson shooting:

One of Loughner's shooting victims shows up at a town hall meeting and threatens Tea Party member. Gets arrested and will be charged.

Sweet. Just keeps getting weirder.

One of those shot, actually went to Loughner's parents to assure them he didn't hold them responsible for their son's actions.

One of the women shot, publicly spoke of forgiving him and instead holds a community that didn't see the signs or act on them responsible. Okay.....

One of the guys who tackled him had a Ruger in his pocket but decided not to pull it because he feared the others might think he was also a shooter. Smart thinking.

Any surprise that it's now reported that Phoenix is losing its dominance as one of the hot spots for young people to move to?

I wonder if it is too early to assign blame to those that blamed the right wing/tea party vitriol for Fuller's actions.

The murdered little girl's family donated her organs to a Boston girl.

Triumph of this family's human spirit in a time of what could only be unimaginable grief.

JFC, talk about a hate-baiting moonbat lib.

I understand he's one of the wounded, but he's engaging precisely in what he's accusing Beck, Palin, Faux, etc. of.

He should be condemmed for his hateful words just like he accuses others of spewing hate.

I do like this one quote from him..."We've got a surplus of demented dingbats, wackos."

He does make a point regards to the surplus.  Maybe not so much though, as the ease with which global communication can be had by the common man (internet..hell, even internet radio can be done by any schmoe with a broadband connection) has increased over the last three decades.

Doesn't absolve this moonbat from responsibility at all, though.

And the cynic in me asks: "There are people who aren't organ donors?"

I have to admit FMC and I were gagging on the news reports from this aspect of the event last night.  I think it's great the family was good with donating her organs, don't get me wrong.  But....

They were reporting on how the girl was so giving and wanted someone to benefit from her.  Okay folks, that just sounds like news being tarted up in drama to me.  What nine year old has even remotely considered the possibility of donating their organs?  I simply get irrirated with the lengths the media goes to peddle hyperbole as news.

 I simply get irrirated with the lengths the media goes to peddle hyperbole as news.

In this case, where a little girl was gunned down in the street, the fact that her family made the decision to think about another when they are suffering perhaps the worst possible pain is newsworthy. Perhaps the media was also trying to show some kind of a silver lining in this horrific story.

 It reminds me of the family touring Italy when someone shot and killed their young son, and they thought of saving others and donated his organs.

After being on vacation for 7 wonderful days I come home, pop up the forums and I read....A few people here wrote what his was really about. People died, others hurt and recovering. More than one family has had their hearts torn out and one very disturbed man is in custody.

The remainder of you that decided to turn this into what it has become, political, should be ashamed. Insulting each other? CjC?? Really?

That 9 year old little girl had more class in her little pinky toe than all of you put together in your whole miserable lives. That man showed more love for his wife by laying down his own for her than I think any of you can imagine. But still you write crap over and over. Well please continue. For myself I will keep the families in my thoughts for a very long time instead.
