It's nice, refreshing to see the hypocrisy of so called liberals. When the object of their hatred comes in sight it no-holds-barred! Pure evil was Wm. Zantzinger. When do the trials for Bush begin so we can hang the bastard, real slow-like! Yeah! What a blood thirsty crew SOME of ye be.

Think of the dying thief on the cross who ask the Christ to remember him when Christ inherited His Kingdom. This man (along with Jesus) was hated and reviled and, unlike Christ, was undoubtedly guilty of his crimes. And yet Christ forgave him.

My own take on Mr. Zantzinger is that he was a sociopath or at least a borderline personality. The fact that he was a child of privilege MAY have contributed to his callous disregard for human life and his disrespect for other human beings but that is probably just icing on the cake. There are plenty of similarly afflicted people who have not had privilege such as Zantzinger. They still act with wanton disregard for the lives and wellbeing of others. Was Zantzinger beyond redemption? From the little I know about his personal life since the Hattie Carrol incident, none of his actions would indicate remorse or a change of heart ( or the growing of a heart in the first place!).

Like most cautionary tales, the story tells me to look to my own house and be sure I am not in the same or similar condition and that is ALL I can take from it.

Check your hate at the door. It's an ugly thing to carry around.
