Just a thought...
Jul. 27th, 2005 10:51 pmSeeing that the shooting that guy debate [1] is still going on on flame made me wonder - if he had turned out to be a bomber, would the majority of the people have even considered argueing about it?
(I've mostly skimmed it, so this may have been brought up there already).
I have my own opinions on it, it always just amazes me to see people who see things in such strict Black and White, Good Thing/Bad Thing etc - and thats on both sides of the argument.
There are always Circumstances, and Context and shades of grey.
Or maybe I see too many shades of grey.
hmm.
[1] Yes I could find a better name for it, but its late and its been a long evening.
And I'm footnoting lj posts. Oh dear.
