American Stupid

Some cow decides to buy an expensive handgun and act all girly and white about it.  She decides that guns are icky, which is no surprise since she's a board member of the Brady Campaign.

Ms. Magazine Does Guns – Final Installment

From Mark Helprin's novel, In Sunlight and in Shadow:
"Humankind, or at least American-kind, will lose its edge as we produce more and more pipsqueaks and everyone gets nice. Whole generations of pipsqueaks will be so f***ing nice you won’t be able to tell a man from a woman. It will get worse and worse as people mistake nice for good. Hitler was nice, supposedly, most of the time. A lot of good that did. Luxury and prosperity breed pipsqueaks. A century from now the country won’t even be able to defend itself.”
