2. But the people whose deaths you may cheer ...

had an impact on your life. Scott Peterson only hurt Laci and Conner. Why are people so invested in this case that they cheer when Scott (albeit a scumbag) hasn't affected their lives in any meaningful way? Yeah, what it says about our society's morals may be awful, but I think we have a lot more right to dislike politicians whose decisions -- about taxation, labor, the decision to go to war -- can cause us harm.
