I never post these to my blog, but

Thanks to Sylvia in Seattle for posting a warning about pop bottle bombs being thrown into yards and put in mailboxes. It's hard to believe there are people out there who would do such things. Children and pets play in yards. It makes my stomach curdle to think of it, but here is the warning found to be true at snopes.com.

No telling what is wrong with some people. Maybe they get their kicks out of blowing fingers and hands off children. I doubt if they do it because they love blowing up mailboxes so much. When they're caught, they'll say their fathers left and their mothers didn't love them, and then get away with a slap on the wrist. I'm a pacifist myself, but I think criminals who set out to cause unknown amounts of harm should be locked up and have mystery bottles presented to them, or left in their cells, or rolled under the bars at them. Oops, sorry, Natasha. Thanks for the comment on my post, sorry I got a little carried away about what's wrong with people. :(
