More perversions of government

I am abso-fucking-lutely disgusted by this Wall Street Journal piece, and almost shocked speechless more outlets aren't picking this up. What happened to the so-called liberal fucking media? The worst part about is that there are so many seemingly intelligent, functional individuals who think this is a smart idea. How in fuck's sake did we get so far off the fucking rails, people? And since when is our government supposed to be like your g'damned grandmother, rubbing your tummy and soothing your hurt feelings?

You're a pharmacist who doesn't want to dispense birth control? Then fine -- find a new fucking profession. You're a doctor who doesn't want to give the morning-after pill to a rape victim? Then fine -- take your ass out of the ER and go into proctology or radiology plastic surgery or one of the other bazillion niches of medicine in which all your punk ass has to do is slap some rubber gloves on, sign some presciptions and collect your six figures. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and do your g'damned job already. And in case you fucking forgot, your job is to help people, not to fucking judge them.

I'm seriously sick over this, and this country, and the fact that this is just another day at the office. And the irony is that those very people who lay their shit at other people's feet and attempt to take the moral high ground are the most morally and spiritually bankrupt motherfuckers out there.

Disgusting.

I just read this article so merrily provided me by Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSN0335766120080603?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews

According to its author, this man arranged to have his father killed in order to take over his job; he was apparently frustrated with the lack of jobs in his impoverished eastern Bihar state...

Let's ignore the fact that you want to commit a morally suspect. Let's also forget that said act will be (and was) perpetrated against the man who gave you life. What I'm finding interesting is this little nugget: The son had paid a relative about $2,500 to carry out the crime...

Really? The guy had no job, but had $2,500 to throw away on a hit? I would think, if one had no steady employment, one might, you know, save such funds; at the very least, put them toward something with a bit more payoff than whacking someone.

Especially if that someone is your father.

Many Indians are Hindu, and a primary tenant of Hinduism is a belief in reincarnation. May Vishnu help the jerk who whacked his dad for a job.
