I'm not that bad, I did glance at Wikipedia, but I wondered if there was anything else playing out in the background, some sort of extenuating circumstance that got him off & culminated in this... mass psychosis? But thanks for writing your post, I just didn't want to scour all over the Net.

There's always going to be people who martyr these types: that he got elected is not a good sign.

You think he's a typical example, or an exception to the rule?

^...I guess it's obvious I think it's the latter, and I wouldn't scrap hate laws because of him.

You've made sure I have more homework to do
