Hate Crimes

Something I read over at [livejournal.com profile] pagan has led me to thinking about Hate Crimes and the legislation thereof.

Personally, I think killing or assaulting people is wrong regardless of why you did it. Is it more outrageous, frsutrating and sad to hear that these things are done out of prejudice? of course. Does that make them worse than crimes of passion, of greed, or for hire? Not really.

While we all feel frustrated that Hate Crimes exist, I think it is not a good idea to keep them separate from other crimes. Besides, arent' most assaults and killings the product of hate?

We can't make people not hate thru the passing of laws.
if we could, they'd have done it already.




In other news, things with "dad" are okay. He told me some pretty awful things about my mom that I had already kind of suspected. But we seem to be done with that topic for now. It would be cool to get to know him without spending time talking about what a bitch my mother is. It seems he and I both already know, and it's just a drag to discuss it.

They are still power washing our building and the surrounding ones. It is loud as heck!

And finally: the best news horror fans have gotten all week!
