I've heard of Mickey Z., and this sounds like it might be him. Beyond this, Brian, could you spell out what you expect us to see in this passage ? O.K. From: Brian <cabrian@xxxxxxxxx> To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2007 08:57:32 -0600 Red meat quote: Among many reasons, I hate America for the near-extermination and subsequent oppression of its indigenous population. I hate it for its role in the African slave trade and for dropping atomic bombs on civilians. I hate its control of institutions like the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization. I hate it for propping up brutal dictators like Suharto, Pinochet, Duvalier, Hussein, Marcos, and the Shah of Iran. I hate America for its unconditional support for Israel. I hate its bogus two-party system, its one-size-fits-all culture, and its income gap. I could go on for pages but I'll sum up with this: I hate America for being a hypocritical white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/2/8/172058/4195 A short bio of the author from his site: Mickey Z. is a self-educated writer/martial artist/vegan who lives with his wife Michele in New York City.
