A woman is killed and some of you make jokes about it. No wonder Liberals think Conservatives are heartless jerks.

Humor is a normal human reaction to horror that is so vile, it cannot be internalized,uh, I mean, digested, er, processed.

Witness "gallows humor", the sardonic humor of the old Soviet Union's publication Krokodile (sp?), etc.

Hell, I've had my co-religionists tell me concentration camp/pogrom jokes that were actually funny! (Yes, I lost family in the Nazi genocide.)

Besides, "rap" is the signature "art" of black urban America - a CORE DEMOCRATIC constituency if ever there was one. We may joke about this idiocy, but FReepers ain't commiting the atrocities.
