A brief but final look at some of the day's news that rattles much like a ping pong ball within our heads until reason is brought to bear:

Cease fire between Israel and Lebanon/Hezbollah:

A cease fire assumes that there is something salvageable and worthwhile that the two parties possess. Terrorists such as Hezbollah whose only hope is to maim and murder is not a party to be recognized and should be eradicated to prevent further and greater harm. Israel should continue their military efforts to this end, without cease.

JonBenet murderer suspect and child porn hoarder John Mark Karr says, "I was with her when she died.":

Pass and enforce laws prohibiting pornography depicting violence, pregnant women, bondage and slavery, bestiality, and other extreme acts. Place bans on the sale of the typical pornographic communications at bookstores and other points of sale where the general public assembles, and on media broadcasting such as cable and satellite, especially Internet. As these laws are violated and loopholes exploited, pass further laws with language that is more general to be broadly enforced. Hold publishers and companies specifically accountable through heavy fines if fault of sexual depravity is found with their communications.
