The Post Where I Rant About The Murder Of Dr. Tiller

May 31st, 2009

So, unless you live under a rock, you know that Dr. George Tiller, OBGYN was shot down in his church today by an anti-choice activist. For my cave-dwelling friends, here’s the story.

-a history of abortion-related murders of doctors

-a timeline of acts of terror wrought on Dr. Tiller

I’m still trying to sort out my feelings of anger on this one, so I’ll probably come back to it later, but one thing is certain: no matter how much we believe this country has progressed in the past year in terms of equality, responsibility, and being informed, there is ALWAYS part of society that lags behind. That part of society is fueled by hate, fear and ignorance and is very dangerous. It’s important that we always remember that we can’t dismiss them out of hand.

that our President renewed his commitment to net neutrality and openness of information in his speech about appointing an information security czar a couple days ago. So. Nice.

I believe Obama is one of the only people on this earth that can say “Web 2.0″ and not sound like a total fake smarmy internet marketer.
