But knowing someone willingly wanted to inflict on others, especially young children, in a "civilized" nation just seems bizarre. Really? Something that's happened for as long as humans have existed seems bizarre to you? Even in countries without guns, murder is a regular occurrence. Across the world, violence towards children is a regular occurrence. And the idea that you're more likely to murdered by a loved one than a stranger is uncomfortable, but it's certainly not bizarre. Plus the term "accident" is inappropriate for most collisions. Given that 1/3 of all fatal collisions result from DUIs and another quarter from distracted driving (ie, texting, etc) -- all which require conscious decision -- I hesitate to describe them with a word that diminishes responsibility. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...
