Very true, Mason.
Very true, Mason.
I recall emerging from a week long backcountry in the Maze and watching the Waco inferno at Rays Tavern. Fast forward a few years later and emerged from another trip to watch the OKC bombing at Rays (again).
Then there was Columbine..

Himalayan glaciers granted status of 'living entities'
An Indian court has recognized Himalayan glaciers, lakes and forests as "legal persons" in an effort to curb environmental destruction, weeks after it granted similar status to the country's two most sacred rivers.
In a decision that aims to widen environmental protections in the mountainous region, the court granted the legal standing to glaciers Gangotri and Yamunotri that feed India's venerated Ganga and Yamuna rivers, which won the status in a landmark judgement in March.
"The rights of these entities shall be equivalent to the rights of human beings and any injury or harm caused to these bodies shall be treated as injury or harm caused to human beings," the highest court in Himalayan state of Uttarakhand said in its ruling on Friday.

If ice is now considered equivalent to legal persons we must assume that they are conscious of their actions so that iceberg obviously took out the Titanic on purpose. It, therefore, "was sunk."

Still find it amazing that
Still find it amazing that Lincoln's only bodyguard that night, John Frederick Parker, was across the street drinking in a tavern when Booth snuck into the presidential box at Ford's Theater. It is even more amazing that the bodyguard, who had a history of dereliction of duty, wasn't punished for leaving his post that night:

The Titanic hit the iceberg
The Titanic hit the iceberg on the evening of April 14, 1912, but it actually sank on April 15, 1912. Just like Lincoln was shot on April 14, but died on April 15. Get your facts straight Tom.
