QOTD

2006-05-04 15:33:25.823666+02 by ebwolf 1 comments

Give me your tired, your poor,

your buddled masses yearing to breathe free,

the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

These days Lou Reed's take on this seems a more accurate take on the sentiment of some folks in this country:

Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em

That's what the Statue of Bigotry says

Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death

and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

-- Lou Reed, Dirty Boulevard

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
