...blame riots on anything you want to, you and the rest of the good citizens. There is one reason for them, and you know what it is: the black man is tired of being pushed around, and he has decided to push back hard.

According to lampologists, the poonies spent the next six months bickering over how to spend it all and still maintain their tax-exempt status. In the meantime they forget, or didn't care, about the high-quality humor of the good-old-day (which, by the way, not even the most ancient Cambridge observers can recall...
