      [continued from previous message]              My opinion is hardly conservative, Donkey. Certainly not in the       post-"Me Too" era where sexual assault is finally being openly       recognized for what it is.              > Compared to the writings of Beat poets such as Allen Ginsberg and       > Charles Bukowski and the punk rock lyrics of Sex Pistols and The Clash       > my poetry is definitely pretty tame.              Good for you, Donkey.              So you didn't hold a knife to her throat while you groped her. Kudos       for your sensitivity.              > As I explained, on May 8th 1982 when the events of the poem took place,       > I was a latter day Beat poet socializing in a punk rock scene in Atlanta       > Georgia.              So what? I hung out in the East Village with beatniks and punk       rockers... but I didn't walk up to girls, introduce myself, and grab       ahold of their crotch.              > In fact, I behaved in a very tame manner compared to many of my peers       > there at the nightclub that night.              So you were a reserved baboon. Good for you.              --              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
