god, do people still think the "SOMEONE SOMEWHERE IS STARVING, THEREFORE ANY MONEY SPENT ELSEWHERE IS WORTHLESS" argument is not bullshit?

you must be a riot at parties.

It's not that these pieces of shit deserve civility, or that I think being nice to racists is "better" than being hostile to them, or that I plan to conduct myself in a more Solomon-like fashion in the future (I doubt that Solomon has any such plans either).

I read this post as: "MLK, Jesus, and Gandhi were great people and heroes. I'm going to do the opposite of what they espouse though."

I read about half and put it down. it made so physically angry that I mulled burning down the Barnes & Noble where I bought it.
