It couldn't be more exactly the original series if it wanted to, Loathed.

It soooo isn't. The rhythm is all wrong. It's way too fast moving. The relaxed pacing and slacker delivery of the riffing in the original is crucial to what I like about it. The writing is also much worse now.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

2. How is selling murder weapons not a serious crime?

3. It's his own fault for committing a crime and refusing to face judgment for it. How do you expect society to function if people just refuse to abide by the law and face no consequences?

1. In what world should an offensive t-shirt lead to violence? My own sense is that he's neither a racist nor an apologist; he's probably just mentally unstable and has likely struggled with severe depression after the Ruby Ridge incident.

2. Were the guns used in a murder? I honestly can't recall. I'm all for strict gun control, but I'm also opposed to any sort of government entrapment.

3. Yes, he deserved to face judgment in a court of law. But a violent siege on his family?
