I've been dreading today for the past couple of weeks. Living in Berkeley can sometimes be difficult, and I don't think there is a day that will be more trying for me than today.
I woke up this morning and hit my favorite website. I was pleasantly surprised by the short, respectful memorial post to the victims of 9-11 that I found there. I was unpleasantly surprised by the first forum post under it. The poster decided to respond to this memorial with one of the many "America deserves what it gets" responses I've grown used to seeing and hearing from ignorant Berkeleyites.
I guess you could say I flew off the handle. I think I used more invective in my response than I ever have in the years I've been visiting that site. Perhaps too much.
