I avoid Freak Repugnant like the plague.

God knows that whatever they're posting--it's racist and despicable. I've never understood DUers' infatuation with that site, myself. And posting a link to it tonight--well, I can't understand why anyone would do that.

I am so sad tonight, not just over the DP being carried out, but over how far apart we DUers are on this fundamental issue.

It is always good to see you Maddy!

I'm finishing up a paper. But I decided to check in to read LBN about the execution. And then I stumbled into GD, and I wish I never had.

I'm about to sign off again--hopefully until after New Year's Day, granted something humongous (like Bush resigning ;-) ) doesn't happen. :D

:hi: With that, I'm logging off. :hug:

I have about 6 hours to finish mine... no sleep for me. :(

Guess I'll get back to it now... good luck! :hi:

20 pages. Historiography. Achingly boring.

Good luck to you, too. :hug:

I've no desire to read that. Many DUers are upset tonight. Reading whatever disgraceful, hateful shit is posted at FR certainly will not help.

Hate.... I saw so much unified hate that I am now encouraged to help unite DU as much as possible.

11/06 is VERY close. It's time for us to get our shit together.

Actually, DU usually is pretty united--especially at election time (after primaries). You will never find unity on issues like the DP among liberals. Unlike Republicans, DUers don't march in lockstep to the beat of one drummer. That's a good thing.

:hi:

being ignored right now.

:P

Really, I'm logging off. G'night, friend. :hi:

And then others are justifying it.

And I'm quite put-off by the celebratory attitude that some people here are taking.

I agree. I don't understand how anyone can regard an execution as a form of entertainment.

It's a psychological thing.

Good people are forced to sit day in and day out and impotently witness blatant evil going unpunished.

The "celebratory" effect is somewhat like a psychological safety valve.

After seeing so much lawlessness going unavenged, it's an emotional relief to finally see some small bit of justice carried out.

If the relief of that safety valve is squelched, people can sink into despair over the fact that justice all too often seems to be delayed or entirely denied.


(short version; give 'em a break)...:)

was far darker than the stuff I've followed here.

A lot of it is racist as well.

Like this did any one any good.

dig into Usenet.

alt.activism.deathpenalty, alt.truecrime and a whole sackload of other froups are marvelously raging hotbeds of hate. I used to have the time to hang out in them, but ain't gonna go there now.

Blood pressure's high enough already.
