True, this thread has gone from expressions of sympathy to the analysis of causation.

How many more times must we express sympathy? Until the point that it is considered "normal" and that the victims really "had it coming"?

The denial of causation is what is really disturbing, as well as politicians willing to sacrifice the lives of their citizens in order to achieve a socio-political goal.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
