Please read this carefully:
1. Everybody are people. That doesn't mean anything in this context.
2. Sympathies have nothing to do with this.
3. Noone deserves to die. Nobody. None. Absolutely not. No way.
4. Emotions often cloud judgement.
5. I am not a knee-jerk global anti-globalist. You don't know my weltanschauung. I'm just angry that a young man was murdered for no reason. It is always better to respond to specific views, rather than hang labels on people's necks.
6. I have read (and go on reading) Pynchon. Otherwise, what would I be doing here?
7. It is not clear to me how what you've said relates to having read Pynchon. Please explain, if you will.
