On Aurora

After a relaxing weekend spent with a fellow villain, I have come home to reports of what has happened in Colorado, how a deranged man claiming to be the Joker attacked a theater full of people, killing several, and when the authorities went to his house they found it to be trapped with explosives.  When I found this out I was shocked, had one of the community gone off the farm?

Let me be perfectly clear with everyone and set the record straight on this:  This man was NOT a Real Life Super Villain.  Being a RLSV isn't about causing harm and destruction.  Being a RLSV is about living your life to the fullest, about overcoming society's antiquated morality and fulfilling that role of the trickster god.  What happened in Aurora was not Villainy, it was terrorism, and that is unacceptable.  I urge everyone in the community, hero and villain, to rise up and decry this senseless violence.  As a community we set out to be an example for the common man and to make a difference, well, now is the time to come together and unite, to show the world at large that we are NOT a bunch of dangerous crazies running about endangering people.  We must show that we serve a purpose in the greater scheme of things and not just our own vanity and egos.   So I say to all of you, hero, villain, x-alt, rise, rise up and became what we SHOULD be.
