Smiling...you were one of the first people I thought of when this went down, Tuesday or whenever it was. I wasn't laughing, then (but am now), but was like, ...
oh my god cult of isis has to be about coming completely undone with outrage.
..and I wanted to "hear you" then, and so I tried to remember his (David, is it?) lj name, but gave up after chayatulpa, chaytulpa, chaytalpa, and chuytalpa failed to yield results.

Which, though unintended, brings me to my point, which will not be able to be very clearly articulated at the moment, but is this: yours is the kind of voice that needs to stay here, even if you only just rep - don't delete your account. No matter how reasoned, sane, and safe, they won't hear my voice: they don't have to since I'm one of them. I'm expendable, and that's completely cool with me.
You, on the other hand, you're not one of me: witness the non-still struck through condition of your user name. They won't hear me, because by their reasoning, to listen to me, regardless how eloquent I might manage to make my wording, is to be with me. (You know - the flip-flop of George Bush's edict: "if you're not against us, you're with us."
And that's the catch-22. They don't even know we're on the same side: the side that wants to create less victims (albeit on both sides of the schoolyard fence). The reason they don't know we're on the same side, is because they can't listen, or hear, at all, because that would mean they're with us, and since they've never heard us, they're alredy positive that we stand for opposite objectives
