>I am a thug. Was nothing more. This must be made clear from the outset. The world is an atrocious place, a self-consuming flame, all vs. all. I doubt you are ignorant of this – given that you have the leisure and resources to read this memoir–that you have not yet made an accommodation with the brutal facts of life – that life preserves itself by consuming other life. That one either feeds or is foods.

You guys obviously didn't read the book. This isn't DFW talking, it's Hal, and it's a gross hyperbole he makes as he's pleading for admittance into college to administrators who think he has a poor academic record.

Another rich, suburban blonde with no respect for authority or government.

Donald Trump is at least a step in the right direction: I would like to see one who has worked his way up.

At least three endnotes point to a larger endnote describing the ritual. It's a game of chicken involving trains for quebecois kids.

implication? It pretty much spells out for you what their little ritual is. The whole train thing, remember? Did you pay any attention to that article?

I miss when /pol/ was more subtle in their attempts at carving out political power to embolden their nebbish little lives. No, while the status quo is far from ideal your death cult continually loses appeal.
