Ugly is in the eye of the beholder.  And often to find something uglier all
one has to do is look in the mirror.  Ugly is a state of mind and heart.  
If an El Salvadoran or anyone else hates enough to vent his hostilities at
people in a restuarant by killing them then he has become death itself, and
has become the very thing he hates.  It is one thing to go into battle with
a weapon against another with a weapon, but oozing through back streets taking
pop shots at unsuspecting, unarmed people is UGLY period.  But fear not, that
oozer will have no trouble sleeping tonight, we are saved by our rationale 
from guilt and lunacy.  After all, right is on our side, isn't it?  Isn't it?
