Of Hearts and Bombs

The following is a message I picked up on Friendster's bulletin board regarding the recent Valentine's Day bus bombings at General Santos and Makati. How people could plan to do such acts is beyond me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two passenger buses were blown up yesterday in
separate locations, one in Gen. Santos and
another in Makati. At least three people were killed
in each one and several others were wounded. It
makes one think what kind of a heart a person
would have to be able to do such a horrible act and
much more to people they do not even know. In
their effort to send out whatever message they
wished to impart, they've snuffed out the lives of
people who have families, friends and loved ones
who will grieve their unnecessary and untimely
loss with the bitterness of knowing that there was
no real reason for them to die. The Abusayaff has
already claimed responsibility for the bombing. If
you believe that what monsters that they are
deserve to die, then repost this as a testament to
that belief.

Let every post and repost mean agonizing and
torturous death to one of each of those who
perpetrated the gruesome act. Let it be reposted
until enough hearts cruel enough to want cruel
men to die have wished them to do so. Repost this
only if you truly wish for their demise.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine's Day is supposed to be a day for celebration, for celebrating the one thing that unites all people on the planet - love. It wasn't meant to be a day of destruction. It certainly wasn't meant to be a day for mourning, which was what happened just four days ago.
