The Supreme Court just made a very unhappy decision. It upheld the loathsome and despicable actions of some individuals who like to protest at the funerals of people who died for their right to be as loathsome and despicable as they want to be.
While it's easy to be angry with the folks who claim to be Christians and who claim that their organization is a church, and while it's easy to be angry with the court for allowing them to continue with what they're doing, the decision was the right one.
Except to wreak havoc and inflict pain, what purpose is served by the actions of the Westboro folk? In fact, other than to serve as bad examples, what purpose do these people serve at all? So, instead of hating them, we should really pity them. After all, if they were leading happy, fulfilled lives instead of sad, pathetic ones, they would not feel the need to go to such efforts to spread their hate.
Remember that the next time you see these nothings holding up signs at the funeral of a person who was their superior in every respect.
