As you know by now, suspicious packages originating in Yemen were discovered late thursday night. They contained what looked like explosive devices (possibly fakes for a test run) and I've heard that a couple of them actually were explosives. Two of the known targets were synagogues in Chicago, which is where my room-mates fiance' is from. So here's the stupidity part. He posts an article titled "Investigators hunt for mail bomber in Yemen" on his facebook page. His comment was "here comes the hate again..." I was immediately then of course set in. I am ready to implode but can't even reply to him 'cause I can't afford to start any with my room-mate who happens to be like minded with him. Then someone comments on his status "is it me, or are the alledged terrorists getting dumber?" Really ?! Is the word alleged even necessary here ?
People, please help me out before I lose my mind. Does sanity, common sense, and rational thinking still exist ?
Signed,
Utterly frustrated in Memphis.
