I have seen a lot of noise around the internet in the wake of bin Laden's killing. Apparently, people either are: hooting and hollering about justice and waving American flags and shooting shotguns into the air from the backs of pick up trucks on the way to the store for more Natural Ice, OR, holding forth about how a human being, no matter how shitty, is still human and we shouldn't celebrate their non-existence no matter what and how they are just going to stop by Whole Foods for a minute to stock up on vegan organic pesto.
I haven't seen anyone say that the only reason anyone in America is celebrating is that some apes that belonged to "our" group killed an ape that belonged to "another" group. This is a pretty crucial omission.
