Gee, is David Brooks channeling Cathy Young or vice versa?

Contra this vibe, I stand with John Lydon and C. Thomas Howell's Robert in Red Dawn. Hate can be very useful for those who can handle its immense energy.

    Red Dawn. there's a blast from the past!

    does anybody remember how the kommies went to the police station to get records of gun ownership, so they could see that the merchant had given away some guns. I could see a new version of this where the message would be some sort of patriot act provision the kommies (or whoever now) would exploit. count on hollywood...

    ... and colonel tanner's thoughts notwithstanding, that the two toughest kids on the block would have to fight it out, well we won with the levis and big macs.

    for more lyrics and such on hate, my i recommend one of my favorites, mr. Henry Rollins: 21161.com or henryrollins.com.

    or you could become what bad religion calls, "a misanthropic anthropoid with nothing to say"

    cheers,

    "So who's on our side?"
    "[...]and half a billion screaming Chinese."
    "I thought there were a billion Chinese."
    "There were."
