This stereotype goes to show what New Yorkers know about the Midwest. Lawrence is an old abolitionist town, burned by Quantrill's raiders in the civil war -- they killed 150 some people -- and not only more radical than, say, Bensonhurst, it's probably more radical than the East Village. It's also pretty hip and very beautiful. The U of Kansas is located there. That's an institution of higher education. They grant degrees and everything. Lawrence may well have almost every radical _in_ Kansas, but it has a lot of them. Anyone know what the turnout for the demos was in Lawrence?

some frustrated cubicle slave in Lawrence, KS, with a
fat wife and forty grand in credit card debt and a spare tire that makes
him sick with self-loathing every time he sees the cover of Men’s Health,
that he doesn’t want to bomb the shit out of somebody, anybody, at the
earliest conceivable opportunity,
