Scum.

With what happened in Boston yesterday it didn't seem appropriate to grumble about the weather, or the fuss the papers are making over a dead politician. Or to write any unimportant little details of life and daily routine.

We had 30-odd years of that kind of thing here in the UK. We got used to the checking. Got used to taking note of things. Got used to being alert. Got used to never seeing left-luggage lockers or litter bins at bus stations, train stations, airports.

No matter how used to those things I became I still could not, could never, will never, understand why.

Why does anybody think that blowing up innocent bystanders, killing and disabling people, is a good way to make a point??

Why does anybody think that it's a reasonable way to protest??

Why does anybody think that setting off explosions in cities will make anybody give in to whatever demand they're making. Or change a government decision, or national policy??

And how can any sub-human scum think killing kids with shrapnel bombs is a sane, reasonable - justifiable - way to express discontent with any situation, political or otherwise??

If I live to be as old as Methuselah I will never, ever understand.
