If nothing else, we have gotten angery enough to have conversations such as these, trying to point fingers and blame enteraintment.
i doubt that killings would have been dismissed by all 500 years ago. i think it would have been received the same as today. sure some people are shocked and horrified, but mostly, it's just another death. people are killed every day. does it shock and disgust you every day?


have you seen my marbles?
