Mick accurately pegs the Maoist connotations of Stone's creepy endeavours. (And now I'm off to listen to ol' Ludwig Van. Peace out, homies.)

"We had a compound of moderates for the first time overtake . . . extremists. It's never happened before. Found them, identified them, threw them up against the fence and shaved their frickin' beards off of them. . . . I mean, that is historic."</b> Stone seems to think this great fun. The dude's seriously twisted; living the sadist's dream, I suppose. Also, how dumb do you have to be to say this publicly. Kyle,
