UglyMugs


I was looking through mugshots of random people, some celebrities, some criminals. This one is Ted Kaczynski. The unabomber. I never thought much about him before accept when I heard about him when I was younger. I just figured he was crazy and had issues. But after reading about him, he seems like any soldier in any war. Trying to make something happen.

"Never lose hope, be persistent and stubborn and never give up. There are many instances in history where apparent losers suddenly turn out to be winners unexpectedly, so you should never conclude all hope is lost."

He is a revolutionary in his own mind, a revolutionary for nature. He was tortured by the sight of big machines tearing up nature and wanted to put a stop to it. I do agree, however, that how he went about it was horrible and taking someone's life should not be put in man's hands. Also he could have gone about it in a completely diplomatic way. He could have gotten a job in the government and worked to create new policies or started an organization that works to raise awareness and protection for nature. I guess it does take someone who is a little crazy to use such violent methods.
