There they enjoy freedom from all social constraints. In the wilderness they make up for the tension which a long fenced-in confinement within the peace of the community brings about. They go back to the innocent consciousness of a wild beast of prey, as joyful monsters, who perhaps walk away from a dreadful sequence of murder, arson, rape, and torture with exhilaration and spiritual equilibrium, as if they had merely pulled off a student prank, convinced that the poets now have something more to sing about and praise for a long time to come."Avalanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295125010710856787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-25231137152502063792007-04-07T00:25:00.000-04:002007-04-07T00:25:00.000-04:001) Make mine a Kel-Tec RFB (if and when) and a per...1) Make mine a Kel-Tec RFB (if and when) and a performance of "Smoking Gun" by Robert Cray.
