A few minutes ago I made a post hereabouts in a word association thread. A few minutes later I posted this to Facebook:
I'll probably edit and what not when reason overpowers my emotion. Or not.
Dominoes.
Reading at a discussion forum I'm a member of, I go to a word association thread. Last post was 'galoshes'. First thing that pops into my head is Peter Tosh. I know precious little about the man, and am confusing him with many other reggae acts in my mind. To do the man honor, I go to Wiki, and sadly learn that he was shot in the head and killed by a gunman who was trying to rob him. Dead, aged 42. Because of some asshole.
At the bottom of the Wiki page I learn that the killer's death sentence - which he deserved - was commuted. Good people are paying taxes to make sure this cold blooded killer has three hots and a cot for the rest of his days. If I shot an innocent person and killed them, for nothing more than my own immediate gratification, I'd like to think I'd do the decent thing and obliviate myself with the next bullet. I'm not crazy about capital punishment, or the death penalty— in fact I find the whole thing depressing and deeply disturbing— but sometimes I think some people have it coming. Requiescat in pace, Peter Tosh.
I'll probably edit and what not when reason overpowers my emotion. Or not.
