The pig farmer...

So Robert Pickton has been ruled guilty. Is anyone in Canada surprised? He's been found guilty (so far) on six counts of second-degree murder.

Interestingly, according to an article in The Ottawa Citizen that quotes from a letter he wrote, Pickton said he did it because God told him to rid the world of evil.

The levels of irony in the comment amuse me.

Can't even trust a cop, how bad is that?

My ex-husband used to say that the personality profile of a cop is pretty much the same as the personality profile of a criminal - they just express it in different ways. I would agree that there are overlapping character traits.

I think it's all part of the eternal balance between order and chaos. As an adult, one gets to choose - every minute of the day - which one prefers at any given time. I'm the kind of person who in many ways prefers chaos - it's seductive - but order is much better for me.

Chaos is indeed fun. (Hm, that came out oddly!) I pretty much live in it all the time; at the same time, I not only see patterns of order within it -- amounting to almost-have-it levels of equilibrium over and over throughout our collective day -- but, like you, need order in order to live well.

What a complicated little paragraph that turned out to be!

As for copt -- considering that a fair estimate of the sociopaths among humanity is one in 25 people, they have to go somewhere, no? And if they have a strong sense of needing external accolade, they'd go to be cops. Or, if they just wanted to be bullies with permission, they'd go to be cops.
