i am not sure if anyone else needed to witness this execution, but i suppose to the people whose family members were directly involved, it was some sort of catharsis. the keyword that kept on coming up was 'closure.' i don't think anything could serve as closure if someone close to me was murdered like the people in that building, but then again i am not those people and really, there's no way of telling. this leads me to the most influential phrase i heard this year (from kieslowski's movie Trois Couleurs: Rouge (RED)): "If I was him I would have done the exact same thing." which is an inverted modification of the adage 'If I was him, I would have done <something else>. i'm not saying mcveigh should get anything other than what he got. i'm saying if i went through exactly everything he, t. mcveigh with his given personality, went through in his lifetime leading up to the bombing, (w/o what i, brodie332, have been through , i would probably have done the same thing.) and if i had gone thru everything the people who's family members got killed, i would have wanted to see the sucka burned 2. but i didn't in both instances, so my word is as good as shite. now, back to dancing brodie-5 <A HREF="/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?url=http://www.geocities.com/overweight_old_fart " TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/overweight_old_fart </A>
