This may piss you off - sorry

Ok, I've had it. The 7 people who died in the Columbia were just people. They were not heros. They were not trail blazers - any more than thousands of others. I'm sorry they died but I'm sure that more than 700 equally valuable people also died in the world since Saturday morning. And I'm getting more than a little pissed at why these people who were far more fortunate than most, are being worshiped for dying in a manner they chose, using my tax dollars, to do what they wanted.

We are getting ready to kill loads and loads of people in countries far away - gleefully and with the marjority of this country on the sidelines with pompoms.

I can make no sense of this.
