The world as it is

Saturday, October 13, 2012
Sometimes, when I'm going about my business, taking care of things that need to be taken care of, I can forget that there are people in this world that should not be allowed to share space with me and mine.

I'm not talking about those who are mean-spirited, or unkind, or monumentally selfish. Those people - and there are many - certainly make the world a worse place to live, and oftentimes it's easier to forget that they exist once you've excised them from your life. A sudden reminder that they continue to pollute our communities with their particular brand of venality is always a little jarring, but banishment from society seems a bit harsh for simply being a self-centered douche.

But I just don't get shit like this. What the fuck is wrong with someone who would do such a thing?

I don't get it. And it depresses the hell out of me that there are people in the world who do.

I don't think the Eighth Amendment covers people who do things like that. No, no I don't.
