I'm heading to the hills to start digging a network of defensive tunnels. When the revolution comes you'll never catch me! At least not alive anyhow. Ps, I don't suppose you got that package in time... Darn!

This must be stopped. Without Nick on my side the gap between the rich and the poor will grow to the point that there won't even be any Middle classes! Then where will we be? What will happen to my mahoggany (from renewable woodland) salad bowl or my hand woven rag rug from a self sufficient mountain community in Peru? Such saddness...

Since he moved to New York a few months ago Nick has taken to wearing tweed suits, public school ties and road testing a number of types of facial hair, each more bourgois-looking than the one before. It won't be long before he is sporting a monocle and waders. He has also expressed a strong desire to join a local gentleman's "club" where he expects to dine in comfort away from the New York riff raff. No doubt, a place where he will continue to propound his Capitalist "views" on geopolitics and economics, such as the ones he was sporting last week when, as I left his apartment, I heard him say, "yeah, but what has American Apparel ever done to help Asian sweatshop workers?" What have they done, indeed? Josh, you don’t know the half of it.

You think you know someone but behind your back they're living the high-life off the back of their ill gotten gains! He was bever like that when we were working at the peace centre! I'm going to have a cup of "fair trade" tea and a slice of fruit cake from a "help the aged" jumble sale and think about how things could have been... Such bourgois conceit!

I wanted to see if I was more or less left-wing than he is. It seems that I am much more left wing than I imagined. I suspect it has to do with the fact that Americans call anyone with even a vague social conscience a socialist. I bet if a similar test was put together in England I’d find myself rated closer to the center. [...] [...] I took the OK Cupid Politics test (as did EiNY in this post).
