#1 Read this if you don't care about your blood pressure. I heard it yesterday and was very pissed off.

#2 Though it wouldn't help with his mental illness, you kind of wonder if meeting a friendly prostitute would have made him less violent.

As weird as it sounds, there does seem to be some sociological truth in this. There is a biological theory that in human reproduction, males are problematic, as a larger pool of them helps provide better offspring, but means that the reproductive losers are a nuisance, interfering with breeding couples.

The way around this might explain the existence of prostitutes. A single prostitute can "defuse" a lot of reproductive losers and no longer reproducing males, thus taking pressure off of breeding couples.

The result is less violence by such males.

An extrapolation of this theory even helps to explain morality, and the lack thereof. Reproducing couples should be monogamous and moral, but non-reproducing people should not. This gives the best result to both groups.

#3 I read the article by Daisy Hernandez and just thought it was another word merchant fanning the flames of victimization politics--kind of like a Latino Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

#4 Daisy Hernandez fails to make any distinction between legal and illegal immigrants. Typical.

#6 Can you believe we are paying for prattle like this? Her first relief that it wasn't a Latino? My first relief was when I heard they had CAPTURED a LONE gunman.

#8 Collective sigh of brown relief?

So Ms. Daisy thinks that because of a sur-name we know automatically the place of origin of an individual? Sounds like profiling and racism to me. Now I don't have my color wheel of progressive skin tones handy but who do you include in this sweeping statement of who is brown? Oh, Latino, then why not just say that - and what does she have against the Ramirez, Gonzalez, Garcias of the world? Glad it wasn't a drug runner hit, sure, but are there not people of many origins living in the area. Oh, a Gringo name, gotchya.

Professional writer huh, I'll give the benefit the slurs were meant to be ironic, the point of the article comes back to a opportunistic event to press her me me me opinion; other than being a color common-tater.

I was glad everything was brought under control rather quickly and casualties evac asap, then reflect on the losses. Personally, I was afraid after hearing the first name that everyone who ate sandwiches that day was going to flip out.

#9 *To be clear, that is not the traditional definition of ironic, or even the Morisette song definition, but the widely accepted current form meaning hip sarcasm.
