Too many, at least. I mean, what was napalm all about?

We have a hard time defending ourselves against capital, which makes us angry. The rage has to go somewhere that is not socially and economically risky, ergo poor minorities. It's racism, but it's also our brand of capitalism, which feeds on insecurity.

It's an old ideology, actually, dating back to Sparta, or even earlier. Darwin's misguided followers merely gave it the modern name "social Darwinism".

Here's a fucking thought. Gee Wilbur, I think I'll give my vote to the douchebag that is stealing my hard earned tax dollars in hopes I will one day be rich like Mr. Romney who steals my money. Ar her, ar her....
