        Things I REALLY dislike

           Bomb-driven ideology. I was in London for the 7 July explosions, riding on the Tube and then in a bus.

                            I saw the 30 bus explode from the top deck of the next bus in the street, about 50 meters away.

                            As these pictures from ITN (right, roughly my vantage point of the event) and the BBC show,

                            this was not pretty. NOTHING JUSTIFIES THIS KIND OF ACTION AGAINST CIVILIANS!
