There is a bit too much of it on this site lately.
Which is why I am leaving.
Oh, that and the fact that I have received funding for one of my projects.
See you next Summer.

[n. SHAW-den-froy-duh] Taking malicious satisfaction in another person's troubles is schadenfreude
of course some people try to cover it up and call it "justice."
as in, "That S.O. B. deserves 20 years in the can."
I do not rejoice in the suffering of people who never had a choice.
The western world had a choice so no tears, sadness perhaps, but the sadness of one heading up the river for a crime he did commit.
just justice. We may not like it but we can't really complain about it or pretend like we didn't know it was coming down the line.

Maybe you could send him something for hanukkah to apologize for Jack.
