Pat

Again with the word "wetback". Do you think talking like that makes you sound tough? You're not tough, Pat. You're not a cowboy.
David, why would I need to sound tough? I've been calling them wetbacks for 30 years and still do and around Mexican families down here Texas. And guess what David, they don't bat an eye. They've (the legal Mexicans) been calling them wetbacks for longer than that. But somehow in the last 5 years the PC police have created a bad word zone and we suddenly can't use that term. Hey Guero I think you need to hang a little more in South L.A. and less in that Ivory Tower of yours.......

 You're a slave to your own antipathies. You're not a pioneer. You're not "telling it like it is". You're not a proud individualist in Davy Crockett hat and musket. You're a sad, pudgy little robot who uses bully-voices like Bill Oreilly and Rush Limbaugh to bolster your tenuous grip on your masculinity, and to support your sad little bigotries. And I've already wasted too much time thinking about you.

past the battered old bodies
of dead dead dreamers
past the tethered and fettered and
deskbound schemers
the punks and the drunks and the
bad guitar players and the dewy eyed
teenage dragon slayers
you come to this place.............think of me David
