Like many, I've been trying to ignore the crazy comments being spewed at McCain and Palin's most recent rallies. The crowds making calls of "Terrorist!" and "Kill him!" when mentioning Sen. Obama. I've been ignoring them and chalking them up to the vitriol of this campaign. But we shouldn't. Words matter. They are indicative of some deeper disease in this world. Think I'm wrong? How about this? Many months back a friend said to me "I really like that Obama guy, but it's terrible he'll probably get shot." I was horrified and pissed at such a suggestion; that it would be so obvious to him that someone would want to take the life of a President. Now, I feel like the naive one.

You are being naive if you don't think there are people out there with intelligence low enough and a hatred large enough to think of doing something like this. Now, I don't know someone with as much hate as the person you are talking about but I will say that I work with someone with below average intelligence. The fact she gets to vote scares me just as much as the fact that she gets to drive.
As an example, she threw out 5 pens this morning because she perceived them to be defective. It would appear that the bright red protective film at the end of the tip wasn't as obvious an indicator as the manufacturer had believed.
