KILL

Today in the gym, one of the more angry gym-rats, a guy we have not seen for awhile, was having at the arabs and all the fuckers in the middle east and how he knew a guy who was there and the guy said that they just went into villages and killed all the bastards because you couldn't trust them; no other way to be sure you got the bad guys. He espoused a similar policy for the US in its approach to foreign affairs. They will never like us so forget trying to win them over. If they get out of line kill them. He reiterated the line that he personally did not mind people getting killed. It was sickening. People moved away. He continued to address a waning audience. And so on.

Our regular AM rat, Youseff, a naturalized Egyptian and owner of several gas stations was not there to hear this rant. It is funny, I saw him later. He passed me at the light on Palm and Sunrise, waved and went on. I thought about winding down the window and shouting "you never will like us you fucker" but I didn't have a gun to follow it up.
