• It just seems to me to be really fake.
• So, what about World War two? What about Nazi Facism? There were a lot of Satan's followers walking the earth then, and the world didn't end.
• It's all those chemicals in your body. They're DANGEROUS man! They mess you UP!
• Bob was like that. A real asshole when it came to reading into things. He liked to wrap things up into neat little packages that implied the world.
• But this fall was going to be the fall alright. Bob and the rest of us had made a note to do absolutely nothing. We were going to waste our educated minds--we had no other way of fighting. As I said, there just weren't enough of us.
• Eddie wasn't an anarchist, he wasn't really even a punk. Eddie was into Women. But not in a macho jerky kinda way, right, he was a true romantic. He had his ass beat several times for being gay, which, he was not. Imagine: fag bashing without all the benefits.
