Wave your stars and stripes, hypocrite. I see more flag-waving media sheep every day, and the hope I had for American dignity is lost. Is it really that easy to control everyone? Does the social psychology that fueled Hitler and the arms race hide globalization from the citizens of "the greatest country in the world"? Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to my plastic hell.

Take two stories from September 20, 2001, mix together with one heaping cup vitriol, two parts malice, and a smidgen of hate.

Cook on hot skillet until golden brown, turning once.

Mmmm, pancakes!

Alas, I never knew I was a "sheep" being controlled by the media and government, imprisoned in a "plastic hell." My dear sir, your words are sweet to the ear and has charmed me to join your cause. Who knew calling everyone except you a complete idiot could be such a marvelous method of recruitment! Fight the power! Let's go deface some corporate paraphernalia! Ha ha! That'll show the bastards!

No, no, mcwetboy, this is what the MetaFilter front page is all about: broadcasting your personal opinions. I, for one, feel better knowing how "caustic" truly feels.

Dear caustic,

Get your own weblog, fuckwit.

No matter what it may seem, Metafilter is not your personal opinion journal. Sorry to be so harsh, but this problem needs to be curtailed. And it's not just because I find the political sensibilities expressed in your post to be odious, sophmoric and stupid. I would say the same thing to a pointless, divisive front page rant posted by someone who shares my political sensibilities as well. This just ain't the place for it.

Love,

Me
