I’ve about had it with so-called “people” nowadays.

A massacre in Virginia, that is being picked apart by the media (as if it will help any). Raise your hand if you didn’t think that the shooter a) was a loner and b) bought a gun legally. Of course. Also? School officials weren’t prepared. How the fuck do you prepare for something like that? That’s like preparing for drunk drivers on the freeway. The only way to be 100% sure you avoid them is to stay home.

Meanwhile, halfway around the globe, almost 160 people were killed in a marketplace in Baghdad. Probably killed by a loner who bought his gun legally. No, wait, “islamic extremist” is the term we prefer in Baghdad (remember when they were all “saddam loyalists?” I think that was before we accomplished our mission). The media won’t bother picking this one apart because it happened the other day and will likely happen again before the week is up. It hasn’t even bubbled to the front page of CNN yet because they are too busy talk about American Idol.

Are these hundreds of people any less valuable, any less special?

I hate the world sometimes.

(oh, news flash – I was also a loner, once upon a time. Still am, some days.)
