I am sure that's how it looks to the insular and myopic but the cognosenti
know different. Every part of American "culture" is dumbed down from
politics to food to drink to what you consume through eyes and ears. The
lunatics have taken over the asylum at the moment.

In England and in other places that can spell "ghetto" is more commonl
found.

the next breath usher me to rejoin an anit-war demo as if its a bad thing.
