Columbine&Blacksburg;&Aurora;&Newtown; senseless and evil and crazy and psychotic are words they throw around like piñata candy “pray for _____, poor things,” they say. pray. Sodom&Gomorrah;&The; Whole World&Jericho;&Ai;&… they deserved it or god had a plan or the babies went to heaven or the lord works in mysterious ways or god wills it to be so. No. No. **** you. there are days now when my teeth crumble like bleu cheese my nails fall out of bed and i weep in the closet, hair in face and knees drawn up. because i cannot dehumanize. what separates the victim from the killer?
