Oliver Stone (was:Pauper and Sweatshop Fallacies)

[Bled Welder]

Isn't The Crying of Less 49, like, 149 pages long? Written by a 28 year old
pining for the suicide of his fabulous partner?  Are you *really *sure you
want to read Hamletical revenge parodies and all of throughout
history....into it?

Really, man?  Just a reality check--

Go 49ers!  Yeah, genius work, encompassing all of history....!  Lets study
it, and read it, again and again!  Screw history, let's just read....Lot 49!

Someone young rubber-tired, beach brained scholar should right a book about
the hairspray bottle, and it's relative nuisance to Assurburnipal's kingdom
of Nineveh and the cumming of Nixon/Inanna....

It's a children's book, come on.
