Latching On

The recent bombings in France by lunatic Jihadis has pretty much stunned the world. It stunned me, though no more so than the bombing of the WTC not so long ago. It was horrific, unforgivable and nearly unbelievable. That someone, anyone, could be so unbelievably evil they could do this is beyond imagining. But it isn't really. It's normal. It's what the human animal does. We do it in wars, on the streets, and in houses. Our motives are many - hate, love, anger, religion, traffic violations...etc. There seems to be no end. Never will we bring it to an end. There will always be someone willing to kill another.

Amidst it all there will be people latching on to these atrocities, minimizing, exaggerating, and using them as an example of something that they might forward their own agendas. They will be used in memes, in advertisements and other propaganda. Someone will profit.

So look up, all you sad faces mourning for those who lost their lives. Money's to be made!
