I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope there's a hell.
In Dante's Inferno, the deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers of kin, country, guests, and benefactors. Count Ugolino of Pisa, who led a politically controversial life, finds himself in the 9th circle of hell surrounded by betrayers of country and party. It can be assumed that Ugolino’s tyrannical behavior and constant betrayal of the people of Pisa in life has earned him this distinction in the afterlife.

Now I know these grifting soothsayers don't really give a rat'sass about heaven and hell, god, or any saviour at all. But I sure would like to think these notions make them squirm as the end of mortality nears for them.

They have profited wildly off the suffering and deaths of hundreds of thousands in their orgy of power and greed. They are sub-animal to me now. I have learned to hate them, not just what they do, but them. I now have a group that I see deserves no compassion.

3. Good post. And they do wear it well.
I went to an Ozzy concert several years ago and the guys with the bullhorns and posters of flames and warning were still at it.

Things are often not what they seem. Parents hated the computer game 'Diablo'. But it was about the player being on a Crusade for good against evil.

2. Oh there's a hell alright. We're in it.
All of us must figure out what we're doing, even if it's the smallest little things, that made things the way they are.

6. Of course there's a hell.
And all members of the Bush regime, past and present, have reserved seats waiting for them.
