The power of public forums reared its head this week as people chose to jump on the radical bleeding-heart bandwagon posting quotes that are imply that killing Osama Bin Laden may have been too harsh. Phrases implying that we followed an archaic "eye-for-an-eye" mentality and that we should not celebrate the death of even our enemy peppered personal status walls on social websites.
Known experts on love, unity, and brotherhood, the Care Bears were consulted as to whether the "love thy enemy" adage that humans compassionately created, really applies in this case. Tenderheart Bear had this to say "whoever mourns the loss of someone this heinous must have a head filled with Charmin(TM) toilet paper. I we followed Eye-for-an-eye, than we would have him experience the fear equivalent to that 2,000 911 victims felt as they died in suffering and pain. They would have imposed the emotional turmoil felt by their loved ones who were forced to grieve a senseless death." Harmony Bear had this to say: "If Bin Laden's fate was any more merciful, then we would be placing a Charmin(Tm) toilet seat cover on the world's filth."
So there you have it. The 20-30 somethings of America that wish they lived in trees like the Charmin bears should seek other outlets for their guilt of being born into privilege, and that sometimes, nature calls.
