And then there is the first American hate crime: taking this land from the Native Americans. We can keep it up forever. Hate Crime Trivial Pursuit. There are more than enough hate crimes to play a decent round.”

“Just as we pull up to this place… I notice two very large American flags… It's as if there was a need to emphasize the Americanness of this place. "We are American" says the first flag. "No we really are!" says the second. It struck me as enormously sad, somehow awkward and tragic.”

“Why am I political? Because society's consistent and constant disregard and lack of respect for minorities, even the title minority, is too much to bear silently.
