RIP Dr Tiller

[blamebrampton]

America, you sadden me. And to those churches who have preached hate against this man and his clinic for years, you are to blame, don't pretend otherwise.

In other news, the last survivor of the Titanic has died, which is one of those odd pieces of trivia that should mean nothing, and yet is still sad. Biscuit the spare cat has returned from wherever she has been hiding for the last week, and whoever cast Calista Flockhart as a character younger than Rachel Griffiths and only slightly older than Balthazar Getty is a cruel, cruel bastard.

I find the fact that he was gunned down in his own church passing out church bulletins astonishing. I don't know why, it's no worse than the HORRIBLE killing of Dr. Slepian at his home, but it's still... *shakes head*

It's the tacit acceptance of violence that gets me, the unwillingness of the middle to break with the ideology that leads to hate and murder. Sometimes these sorts of killings do cause a wider liberal or even moderate swath to break away, but then people forget. I'm truly sickened.
