    the stealing sucks but from our honored war heroes that's enough to make me sick.
    I hope they get caught and the judge makes an example out of them

    I think it's a sad thing to realize our society, and it's overall values, have decayed to the point where people are willing to commit acts of theft like this. I also believe it's a clear sign of our decline as a nation, and the values this country was originally built upon. It's very sad indeed.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
