I’m late to this, but what about the 9/11 Commission Report? Or is that considered part of the “cover-up”? When I taught public school, I remember kids saying Bush was behind 9/11. They said a lot of crap. They thought Jay Z was a great rapper and wearing your waistband below your butt was a good idea. Kids think a lot of things. They think they know everything (Crap, did I just say that!?). We’d talk about it, but generally they just wanted to see what I would say, try to get a reaction out of me. He might be wanting to start a dialogue with you because he looks up to you. He might have submitted something incendiary to get your attention or provoke you. He might have a crush on you. I would ask why he chose this topic and go from there.

So why is it that we, [Progressive] America, put our emphasis of hate and discrimination around [Bush] who hasn’t committed these acts? The sole answer is pride.

Thanks everyone for contributing, and thanks Mike! you’re right — the potential I saw in his prose was nowhere in this essay (interestingly enough!!) — proof, I thought, that these weren’t Anthony’s words; that he was parroting other people; funny how “wacky” sounds the same across the board!

My favorite of his was his biography of Mohamed.
