This is a great piece. Great as in - you'll hate it :-)
Comments are good too:
"I suspect Mr. Durston is a product of our modern fast paced society, where 24 hour information falls like rain in short bullet statements, devoid of nuance and meaning; where Honey Boo-Boo and her ilk reign supreme over a court comprised of uneducated and unwilling fops.
Perhaps he is more suited to watching a youtube video of someone's genitals being struck by a soccer ball."
..IMO it's useful to read stuff as obviously provocative as this as it forces us to think about things in different ways.
..or maybe it'll just make us cross...
