o yes it is!  it's absolutely proof positive that not only emphasizes his
mad-dog hatred of the little folk, but also proof of an unrelenting desire to
kill the factory workers, whom he saw as nothing more than unworthy and
unnecessary inferior beings who were not worth the scraps of food they ate!
when the hell have you been, fella, haven't you read the evidence on this
last for the past few months?  how could anyone still retain any trace of a
possibility that Pound might have had a decent thought in the Mussolini mush
he called a brain?  I can reveal a little known fact that when Pound was
seven years old, he joined the Pennsylvania brigade of S.T.O.M.P. (The
Society to Oppress Minority People), and goose-stepped his way down South
Street in weekend parades.
