    I join in with the good wishes, Randi.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    I'm OK, but it's terrible what happened. It took place at a meeting about Freedom of Speech of all places, and the next happened outside a Jewish Synagoge. You can read about it here, there are links and comments below.

    A Memorial will be held for the victims today and all flags are on half.

    This will surely affect the upcoming election that has to take place no later than September, so that the Danish racist party (Dansk Folkeparti) will get more votes. How unfortunate!

    Edit. Latest news has just been shown on TV... a group of Muslims gathered by the place where the gunman was shot. They removed the flowers some had put there, and put a note on the wall saying "Allah is great" The group would give no interviews, but apparently, they were angry that the gunman's body had not been covered, like they did with the filmdirector and the Jewish man, when they died.

    It is sad there s so much hatred, when most Muslims are peaceful people. Your whole nation is in our prayers.
