That is some beautiful prose!

You have nothing to lose.

Now, just where is that ChiCom SKS I brought home as a war trophy. With a little cleaning and a few more rounds, I can join the fellows in clearing our land of those pesky &%*$'s.

Yup, I don't need to pay attention to no stinkin' decades of social science research that purports to prove the opposite approach works much more effectively. So what if 4000 are already dead. We need to show our resolve!
