I don't understand your statement, though, "you can't respect good things... standing". Who said these "nice people" respect anything beyond their own puds? Who said this is their "leisure time" - as Jim says later on to me, "you wanna know what I'm all about? I spend my whole day on a garbage truck and all night at the Chef and I get a psychotic reaction from it, so there..." What if they don't have a concept of "leisure time"? What if it's all an urge, or "psychotic reaction"? Your letter here smacks of "I'm too wimpy to stand up to Hate but something here bothers me (it might be toggling my own hypocracy) so I'll try and say something to insulate me from it." Have you ever heard their music? Try the compilations, "Most Hated Bands in the World" or "Desperately Seeking Suicide" (an import). James.
