- I am an asshole. I am not a nice person. I am seemingly incapable of empathizing with my fellow man. I don't generally feel bad for people.
- I am not big on gun control. I think that the NRA has some good points.
- I believe in karma. I don't think that bad things tend to happen to good people.
- I believe in God. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and I believe that God watches out for all of us, that He loves us, and that He ultimately takes care of us.
- I believe that people are fundamentally good and that those who practice evil are usually doing so out of circumstance and not out of genuine choice.
Still, I just heard got a sympathy card to sign for a coworker. When I inquired as to why we were sympathizing, I was infomed of this terrible story:

And, right there...I have to question ALL of those beliefs.
Find somebody you love and give `em a hug. And Pray it isn't your last chance to do so...Sometimes, you realize that...you never know... :(
