Jane Fonda claims our military are killing machines.  First of all, that is the whole point.  In war, you kill people and break things.  But in her case it's much more sinister.  Isn't it always? 

           soft focus filters work

"This began," Fonda maintained, "because the military discovered that in World War II and Korea, [U.S.] soldiers weren't killing enough."

"So they changed training procedures" to teach troops how to commit atrocities.

Same anti-American Jane Fonda that she was in the 60's, just more wrinkles.

Surely I'm not the only one who had noticed that there was no rioting after the execution of Tookie Williams.  His execution marks the first time that a 'riot-triggering' event has taken place where there was no riot in response.  Is it a sign that cooler heads prevailed, where those who were expected to riot have actually begun to overcome the destructive behavior that racism foments?  It's a welcome sign.
