I do have to say, considering what happened in Madrid yesterday, it seems a bit sad and foolish and futile to be posting pictures of stuffed moose.

but what else can I do? Perhaps the best way of living in a world where terrorism exists is to live as if it did not.

people make me sick, sometimes, you know that? To think that killing innocent people, who had no expectation that this was going to be their last day on Earth, is a valid way of making a political point, is evil and insane.

My parents are going to England for a trip this fall. I'm already praying that the IRA doesn't reactivate its bombing campaign any time soon. A selfish prayer, I know, but I'm not ready to bid my parents goodbye yet, and certainly not in that way.
