world, you are very stupid sometimes.

I suspect the thought process that makes a person - or the fringe element of any political group - think let's put a stop to this violence... by committing acts of violence is deeply ingrained in our culture (cf most wars). This is sad. It makes people behave in stupid and cruel ways.

George Tiller (a Kansas doctor who was known for performing late-term abortions) was shot on his way into church today. I can only imagine what his life has been, knowing the volume of hate and violence directed at him for doing what he believed was right - providing a medical service that is legal in this country.. Gah. Go in peace, Dr. Tiller.

Strange to think people can still be martyred in 2009.
