I have to admit I felt this way earlier. I read about the attack in Manchester, but doesn't that pale in comparison to what our tax dollars have done to the poor victims of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and of course Palestine?

Sadness, all sadness. . . unless you are part of the Military-Industrial-Complex

After all, they have the better motivation...it was we who bombed them first, not the other way around.
