Website title:

Many stories around the country of kids who kill themselves after being bullied...mostly at school. One poor bastard hanged himself but was cut down by his mother...he lived, but he´s a paralyzed vegetable....is it really surprising....what image, what projection of America are we showing to our kids and the world....what except great big bullies on an international level....we´re picking on people we are certain ahead of time are weaker than we are...and then when one of our victims, pushed beyond endurance, makes a desperately brave attempt to strike back...we get really furious and go for the children.

What is this but a national expresssion of "What you lookin´at, Towel-head"? What are we but the town drunk, looking for a fight...picking on the most vulnerable certain that we´ll get away with it...and, just as a schoolyard bully, incensed when what we thought was an easy mark, hits us back.

We have become a nation of bullies....and proud of it because it´s the only way we have left to feel powerful...just like the neighborhood bully who has nothing else going for him but his ability to beat up on those weaker than he is...but who turn out to be a lot more courageous after all....even if beaten to the ground, they go down with dignity intact....something we don´t have any claim to....there is no dignity in our victories...those we appear to be beating today will beat us in the end by making us destroy ourselves....it´s well on its way already.
