What the hell are you talking about?  If you're in the minority race you'd root for your race to win too.  There's pride involved there.  It's plain and simple, really.  You can't take that away from the collective subconscious, no matter how `logical' you construct your arguments to be.   The fact of the matter is while character and integrity and all those fine concepts would be nice to idealize what should compose winning characteristics, people are mostly dominated by preprogrammed instincts and culturally ingrained programming.  What is ideal only exists in mathematical equations.

 

If there's truth in your words, then the only thing I can hope for is total destruction of the world, for every single person deserves to die. When you cannot use logic to overcome pride, then there shall forever be hatred inside of you. If everyone is made of this same construct, then death to every human being is mandatory, as we've all been corrupted with hate.

 

Hey, I heard there are some guns and some religion for you to go cling to.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
