The Universal Villain

I remember in a science class in high school, we were taught that there is one "universal solvent"; one substance that dissolves the vast majority of other stuff.  That universal solvent is Water.  Most stuff, immersed in water and given enough time, will dissolve.

How the mighty have fallen. Rogue cruise ships?

And no, I am not exaggerating.  Not one little bit.  There are two stories in the news today that literally make me sick to my stomach, and so angry I could ...  I don't know what.  Commit violence?  Maybe.
