america defines itself yet again

This country must be starved for reality. In fact, I might be inclined to believe that the majority of the populace has lost all sense of reality, and prefer to have everything manufactured and served up for sensory consumption. The latest nail in the coffin of free sane thought is The Runaway Bride (not to be confused with the sick flick featuring a wonderful song by Eric Clapton). The official report (if there are any children or impressionable adults reading this, you'd be better off asking someone for a bowdlerised summary) may be found at The Smoking Gun page dedicated to this "crime". This nation deserves a million Palahniuks.
