I would hope they don't give raises to the dead ones!

This is exactly the kind of social worker-inspired gobbledygook that minimizes the real meaning of violent crime. Killed someone? Oh, you just made a bad choice! Infantile and reprehensible understatement.

A quarter-stick of dynamite would do much more damage than this. These were probably blackpowder pipe bombs; in fact, the story says that's exactly what they were. Still very dangerous. But in the future let's try not to incorporate two entirely opposing sets of facts into the same story, okay?

They're just photo ops, packed with special-interest shills and stooges -- in this case, the teacher's union -- who want to publicize their little talking points. A pox on them!

I think this practice is morbid and tasteless. If you want to memorialize a life that's ended, use the cemetery. That's what it's for.

It added no permanent jobs to the economy. Instead, it enabled gutless local politicians across the country to avoid trimming their budgets while the rest of us sank beneath the waves. We allowed some teachers, cops and construction sign-holders to keep their positions as we bankrupted the rest of the country for generations. And we're supposed to thank the g-d government for "trying"? I'll show my "thanks" in November!

Just insult. At the risk of sounding like you, I must say that you have the IQ of a Build-A-Bear with an unstuffed head. In regard to Ms. Clark's message: beware of libs preaching "empowerment."

Daddy puts on a tie to watch some nice, wholesome entertainment -- in this case, some mis-shapen, pervy clown. If that's "family-friendly," you can have it!

In a small community like Niles, it's news. Very sad news, too, especially at this time of year.

To suggest that a flash-in-the-pan piece of celluloid twaddle is somehow responsible for society's collapse is absurd. Modern Christianity, at least as promulgated by Baehr, has much bigger problems than that. The slow death of Christianity certainly isn't caused by movies like this, but it may well be reflected in them. Baehr seems to have confused cause with effect.

People are too venomous and slow-witted to use them in a civilized way. The monkey could probably do better.
