'I haven't met one I didn't like. People in this school are judged by their ap- pearance not by their ideas. We could end this gap by controlled rap ses- sions. 3 minute rounds each. Boys with short hair have strict parents. They're stubborn and bull-headed. Hippies are more sen- sitive. They're all the same, they just dress different. I hate them. They are ignorant and disgusting.' If they were my kids. I would kick the crap out of them.
