You know, "Bill", there's something decidedly un-funny about people
dying needlessly.  Most folks with half a clue can see that.

What is so difficult to understand?  The victim exercised poor judgment
one time too many, and it cost him his life.  That sucks, and what sucks
even more is that it will happen again because there seems to be no end
of folks who just don't take the decisions they make seriously.  Who
wants to be next?

Laugh all you want, but the individuals you're poking fun at have
thought long and hard about details that do matter, and are willing to
share their experiences with whomever chooses to listen.  If you'd like
to contribute, please do so, regardless of what "side" you think you're
on -- whatever reason you may have will shine through the dreck that's
so plentiful here.  When you have nothing to say, however, it's really
best to just shut the fuck up.

Uh, no.  I believe I'll pass.
