What a world

   I tend to be a pessimist. That is just my nature. I tend to look at the world as a dark place, filled with horrible people. I know this probably isn't the best way to go about life, but every time I try to be positive I read some news story that makes me hate this fucking place. So you could only imagine my reaction when I came upon this news story http://www.indystar.com/article/20110412/LOCAL18/104120345/4-held-alleged-plan-sell-baby-sex-offender?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|IndyStar.com. Read the story first. I'll wait. Yep, that's right, these parents tried to sell their child to a convicted child molester. I don't think there is much worse you can do than this right here. What kind of punishment is adequate for such an act? Selling a child for 300 dollars to a child molester? Despite their heinous crime they will not face the death penalty. They'll be sentenced to prison and eat better than most children in impoverished countries. Is that justice? Regardless of the sentence, the fact remains that parents tried to sell their child to an individual who was most likely buying her to molest her. I am sickened by this story. All I can say is what a world.
