Thank you, Michael for your in-depth reply to my question. I am aka as Jules, Q? what blog of yours did i answer on? I tweeted your ‘stoic-racelessness’ on Twitter and followed you.

Thanks for Jim Beam, indeed. He was most likely the reason Martin amis was subdued on the momentous night with Christopher Hitchens who was imbibing from a styrofoam cup the entire time on stage.

It is said, Man Cannot Live By Bread Alone; therefore, he had to invent gods. When the one great god died, (as Martin said) ideologies gushed into man’s thirsty mind. Nb: the Islam religion and jihad ideology are mental-conjoined twins that cannot be separated.

Michael Bowan, It so happened that I also was in attendance of at Christopher Hitchens and Martin Amis’s event at UCLA Royce Hall in April (?) 2002. Do you remember what question you posed to Mr. Hitchens during the Q&A session? I also asked them to reminisce. Afterwards I went to the party at the W Hotel in their honor.. Hitch immediately went to the bar, telling him, “You’ll be seeing a lot of me.” And proceeded to get plastered. In fact, Hitch got into a heated altercation with two liberals on the patio regarding the US involvement in the Iraq War. Security was called and the liberals were escorted out; whereas, Hitch went to the bar for more Jim Beam

Haven't watched your video yet, but as a kid in the 90s in LA, one of the groups on the playground was known as the KROQers. The KROQers, the Rappers, the Ballers. Good times.

Michael! It is refreshing to hear and read your reasoning and way of thinking, seeing, being. I so want to speak with you more about your conclusions. 🥰
