I'm sick and tired of all the sheltered, coddled, insulated people "shuddering" over that photograph. Tell it to the guys who fought the war - they saw stuff like that and *worse* - every day.

Ask the guys who saw their buddies come screaming out of the jungle, bleeding to death, with their genitals cut off by the Viet Cong. Most of them would be perfectly happy to pull the trigger on that Cong sonofabitch right now, right on camera - and they're the ones who have my sympathy.

Time to fire another editor -- that's *"shutter"*.

The word is "shutter." Cameras have shutters, not "shudders." Sheesh.

Since abortion is such a nifty God given right, I have long wondered why I've never seen a photo of the results in any newspaper, magazine or TV.
