Yes, the reasearch being the evidence of my own eyes.  Having survived in 
this lunatic bin of a society for 57 years, I am cognizant of vast numbers 
of my fellow Americans as being John Wayne, Charles Bronson, or Sly Stallone 
wannabees -- having an abiding faith that pistol-packing will transmute them 
from being weenies into figures of formidable menace.  Ultra pathetic.

And I never thought of William S. Burroughs as a role model.
