		<description>Dear Almostgotit,

Your comment that showing or expressing anger for the repressed can metaphorically feel like shooting people in a church was pretty darned brilliant.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Shane and Jo didn&#039;t realize they were both pointing me to the same link and making the same observation about Randy Pausch&#039;s denomination (I had no idea).  Thanks so much to both of you for stopping by and adding this to the discussion.  Irony, indeed.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>And to add to the contrast you paint, Randy Pausch was a UU (Unitarian Universalist), and was probably the sort of person Mr. Adkisson had in his sights.

		<description>The ironic thing is that Randy Pausch was a Unitarian Universalist. Here is a interview with with him by the UUA, the governing group for UU Congregations. 

http://www.uua.org/news/newssubmissions/117142.shtml

I find it rather frustrating that Randy&#039;s membership in UU hasn&#039;t gotten more press with all this. In many of the interviews with him he is private about his church. I believe because UU&#039;s don&#039;t tend to be proselytizing. I wonder if Randy could have known what would happen two days after his passing and how his life story and the story of the shooting would be cohabiting the airwaves so much, would he have wanted more press about him being a UU.</description>

		<description>I agree.  In Harold Kushner&#039;s Book &quot;Living a Life that Matters&quot; he has a chapter called &quot;The Sweet Seduction of Revenge.&quot;  The chapter is an elegant explanation about the necessity of balance between forgiveness and justice for a society to be healthy.  Essentially he says that if we don&#039;t occasionally get outraged at the ills that befall our fellow man, then how can we ever expect them to give the time and emotional attention needed to their own healing.  How exactly can they &quot;stop wallowing&quot; when raging injustice persists?  He says it better than I do, of course!</description>
