Fuming! The places of worship thing is the element which most disturbs me in the midst of all this. Every single way of life, from the furtherment of children to the exchange of culture to mental health is rightly open to adjustment and debate.... but don’t deny the sky wizards! Fuck my life! The wholly unfair assessment that people who are believers have more need for meaningful meditative human interaction than anyone else and that we can carry the risk on their behalf is actually shocking in the 21st century.
The fact that it plays to the sort of hyper conservatives who think 400 young lives is anything other than a national tragedy sums it up for me.
