I don’t know how you can avoid it. In a democracy, the people are ultimately responsible. Now, you could say we’re no longer a democracy, but we let that happen as well.
Neil Young needs to add a couple more verses to “Alabama”.
My very first thought.
the cops wish him a speedy recovery? How about you volunteer to pay his fucking bills? Man, FUCK Alabama. By the way I fucking hate that Lynrd Skynrd song. Neil Young was fucking right.
