I like it too.

From the article:
Quote:
"Vigilantism is never a good thing," said Bernard Gonzales, public information officer for the Chula Vista, California, Police Department. He's had some interactions with real-life superheroes. "The very best thing a private citizen can do is be a good witness."
I disagree with that (but I'm not cop, so what do I know). If my wife/sister/daughter/complete stranger is being raped I'd rather have someone step in and put a stop to it than just be an eye witness. Criminals would be more scared to commit crime if they thought there was someone who would put the beatdown on them. Like airplane passengers vs terrorists, law abiding citizens outnumber violent criminals and we can take them down.

On the other hand, who watches the Watchmen? Also, it could escalate into an arms race between criminals and heroes. Would there have been a Joker if there wasn't a Batman? Violence begets violence and all that.

It's a moral dilemma, but I side with the heroes. At least their hearts are in the right place.

I don't think this story meshes well with the typical (semi-negative) spirit of this thread, but I'm gonna post it here anyway.

I think we should convert all prison cells into that motif.

But, then again, that would probably be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

I like it. People looking after people. If they are genuinely one of the "good guys" anyway.

Now the question is - if you were a superhero - what would your name be?

They did an article on this last year in....Rolling Stone, I think.

Found it.

I think most of these guys need a therapist, even if I kinda wish they turned out to be truly badass crime fighters.

Okay, they story itself isn't all that big of a deal (well; other than winning a gazillion dollars in the lottery), but I love the name of his NEIGHBOR.

Rancher Wins $232 Million in Lottery
Quote:
PIERRE, S.D. (June 5) - A 23-year-old rancher whose family has fallen behind in their taxes and recently had a mobile home repossessed claimed a $232.1 million Powerball jackpot on Friday, one of the largest undivided jackpots in U.S. lottery history.
Whole story.

But my favorite part of the article:
Spoiler:
Quote:
Dave Assman, who owns farmland next to the Wanless' ranch, said he's happy they won't have to worry about money again.

"They've been real short on finances for a long time," Assman said. "They are from real meager means, I guess you'd say."
Yeah, it's juvenile to laugh at that, but I needed it today.

Makes me sad, cos I imagine how happy 232 people would be to win $1 million each instead.
