I'm going with the Angel of Mercy theory (for now): Hassan wanted to spare himself and others what he considered a fate worse than death. #nidalmalikhasan
The Fort Hood/Killeen, Texas area is bleak. I'd crack if I knew I would soon be stationed someplace worse.
Anyway, humans are not hard-wired for modern warfare. Let's not do it anymore. #maliknidalhasan
@aurora*raby: Okay, okay, so apparently the person I had suspected of being Suparna Chiron is not Suparna Chiron. (And who cares, really.)
But, Gawker editors, why has this site turned into a mini Wikipedia, albeit a pink-highlighted one? Just because some random clown on the Internet claims to be an expert on this or that subject, that doesn't mean he or she is one. And you guys -- of all noble cynics -- should know that. And also, all those long explanations, especially mine, are BORING.
@SuparnaChiron: Anyway, I've thought more about your long, blathering, bland comment, not the message so much as how sad it is that a newly starred commenter was too cowardly to post under his regular alias -- and then, I believe, had the nerve to "promote" his own comment. I know who you are, and you are an ass.
@aurora*raby: What happened to the new edit feature? I just want you guys to know that even though there's no one I'd rather be in bed with right now than Minou and Bookish, I did mean for my comment to be independent. After all, I am a modern woman.
Yeah, old people do it. It's fun. Maybe you youngsters should try it sometime ... within your own age-group, of course. I'll stay in mine, thank you very much. And I love the new edit feature. I inhabit the land of second thoughts and missed opportunity.
