"We should learn to tolerate others."

"No one should tell us what’s right and what’s wrong.  That’s pushing you’re values on someone else."

Do these quotes sound familiar?  They are commonly spouted by "civil rights" groups.  The common response to these lines have often been, "Well, then, how far is too far?"

Obviously, murder should be, right?

According to an Australian news web site, two teenage girls killed one of their friends simply because they wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.  "We just did it because we felt like it."

Frankly, I’m not at all surprised by this.  We live in an increasingly permissive society that doesn’t want (read: want) consequences.  Instead, we want nothing short of complete and utter liberty to do what we feel like, whenever we feel like.

I think the ACLU, along with the rest of us, should celebrate this as a leap in civil liberties.

The site looks like it did before!  Feel free to look around.  If something stops working, let me know.

The Virginia Tech shooting has, no doubt, raised fear and concern about the safety of schools and even our lives.  Many of us are wondering if the next shooting is going to be at our school, work, or any other public place.  We feel less safe and are on the border-line of panic.

However, when we think about the shooting, we often think about the victims of the tragedy.

But when it comes to the perpetrator, we have nothing but loathing for him and if he were alive, we’d want justice to be served.

Why is it that society, as a whole, demand justice for others but seldom want it for ourselves?  Why is it that we always want grace?
