27. Basically, I wrote it wrong, and I apologize.
That's the problem with me trying to be too clever. Especially without much sleep.

See, my contention is that there are a lot of people afraid to speak their mind and make decisions because they're afraid of what could be done to them. They don't believe they have any hope. And their frustration backs up into the madness and insanity that Columbine experienced in Harris and Klebold.

The guy who bombed the Olympic Village (which a couple of friends of mine just barely missed) had his mind frustrated because he was made to be afraid of democracy. He felt that the only way to stop from killing fetuses was to kill a bunch of adults instead.

There are a few people who are NOT afraid of their government. Cindy Kelly, for instance. Keith Olbelmann. Those are the people we should model ourselves after, and encourage in their endeavors.

That clear it up? Or do I need more sleep?
