Hatred, and Why You Should Give In Today!

Let's be clear. Hate is a powerful word. On top of that it's a powerful feeling.
But beyond those things, it's a natural feeling. One can't go through life without wanting, at one point or another, to violently slaughter another person, or to beat some defenseless thing senseless, et cetera, ad nauseum.
Tonight we supposedly got an intriguing glimpse into the psyche of American hate. American, not liberal or conservative, nor right or left, but American. This, because pretty much all of us gave in to what would normally mortify sensible people - celebration over someone's death.
Is it right? I've heard a few people now express shame over our glee at Osama Bin Laden's death. Those people are frankly idiots. Also, their heads are in their asses. And up in the clouds. At the same time, somehow.
If we want the depth of our thinking to be lines from Star Wars, enjoy the miniature brain. Otherwise, recognize what happens tonight for what it is - closure.
Osama Bin Laden, short of ramming the planes into the Towers by his own hand, is directly responsible for the horrors of 9/11, horrors some of us are all too eager to forget. Few things are more enraging than the denial people have for such things, the open desire to forget or ignore atrocities like September 11th.
3,000 Americans died ten years ago September. Most were quick, or so we hope, either in an explosion or by being crushed. Some were not so lucky. Still others will be forever marked with what they saw that day, what they heard. People such as myself, far away from everything that happened then, still bear the burden of watching the Towers fall, people still inside, live on TV. People jumping, live on TV. People burning inside the towers live on TV.
So when someone says this is hatred, what we do tonight is hateful, they are wrong.
This kind of delight in retribution, joy at bringing criminals to justice, joy at having a future free of an exceptionally evil man, only a sheep would fail to see that it is justified.
Sheep are led to slaughter in the end. Be a sheep. See where that gets you.
