hugmeMy biggest pet peeve is spam and people who spread it around the Internet. especially virus warnings, chain letters, etc...
so yesterday I got an e-mail stating 'don't buy the Timothy McVey bood because the writers are making money off of a tragedy' First off, not matter what it says someone sent me spam mail and I am going to send them a "you stupid fucking moron" e-mail stating just that.
Second, I completely disagree with this. a tragedy is a a wonderful time to write a book, where do you think all of our history books come from? what about all of the movies about wars. How can educating the public about an incident, especially one where someone screwed up, be a bad thing? The person (or persons) who did the work writing the book deserver to be paid for their time and effort. In this case they were even so generous to try and donate some of the money they made to the memorial.
if someone does work, they should get paid for it... the government has convinced everyone that people who work should be forced by the point of a gun to give up any rewards they receive for work.
This is the reason I pay over 50% of what I earn to the government.. you know, I haven't made a penny this year, everything I have done has been in vein... starting in august I will actually benefit from my work.
