If you ever wondered what sad, pathetic excuses for human beings read The Nation and take it seriously, here is a good indication. They asked for letters from their readers on how Sept. 11th had changed them, and in response they got whines about patriotism, knee-jerk screeds about Bush and Ashcroft, and, of course, the ever lovely “we deserved this”. If I found out all my readers were such hateful, intolerable scum, I’d probably commit suicide… no, wait, make that murder-suicide; I’d at least be courteous enough to first clean up my mess.
