Ah yes. The old "we love death" trick.

Clearly, for many of these folks the only option is to give them what they want. The nuance is in delivering it at stand-off distances.

Radiation therapy at the cancer, coupled with generations of gentle chemotherapy on the host to eventually allow the values that treasure life to change the cultural mix somewhat, is really the only path towards a cure. If we can call it that. We will be dealing with the symptoms of this disease for a long time. For ever, really, just a question of degrees.

Nicely written piece, same old ugly news.

Odd how 10 years ago we were seeing that hopeless poverty was the root enabler for recruting these folks. Now it is seen to be much more fashionable in the middle and upper classes.
