Yeah, like shave off a few miles from that iceberg ego (those miles
are above the sea so imagine how big it really is)  and ask the dude
what the fuck he's talking about. Monroe knows what I know cause we've
read all the same books and shit. Like that quote I pasted up there
before, Now that was a blast from the past when Robert J and me was
goin at it. The strange irony is that Mark comes in today and takes
Robert's side without knowing it and says I'm talking trash. See,
that's the P-List. See, that black dude that meets with Doc he talks
insurection not riot talk. He is hip. Must be a good guy, right.
Wrong. Aunt Reet. She lays it down like she's been readin Howard Zinn.
Must be a sweet reet. Right? Wrong. You reading the books all wrong.
It ain't worth trying to say Bush is a fascist pig cause we all know
he is. Vibe is a bad evil force man. Yeah! Hell one cartoon in Zinn's
comic book with all the presidents of the united states in an oil
barrel is all we need to shoot them fish.

Robin, your problem is two fold, brother, you got a big fucking ego
and you don't know how to read fiction. You have to train at man. It's
an art and a science. Just cause you can read don't mean you can read
poetry.
