Come down South for a visit.  You'll go home a changed and fearful man.  As 
Robert Paul says, it's "a scary place".  But hell, you don't have to come 
all the way down here, just go to Ohio.  You'll probably understand what 
they're saying better anyway.  It used to be all about niggers, now it's all 
about queers.  Down here though, it's still about both.  And owning guns. 
Gotta be able to stop the niggers and the queers, you know.  I'm sorry to 
say that I just don't think we're one whit saner or wiser or better than 
anyone else in the world.  The West is still energized by Christianity --  
not as much as during the Middle Ages, I'll grant you, but in addition to 
Christianity there's the ever present religion of Greed which has joined in 
partnership with Christianity.  Christianity with money, oh shit!  In a 
Kramerized world that doesn't matter, we gotta the biggest bomb, we make-a 
the rules, but in an attempt to preserve the world for just a few more 
generations, I think certain assumptions should be examined, among them our 
wisdom and goodness of heart.
