Once again you're wrong, although you'll never admit it. I've liked Ride of the Valkyries since I first saw Apocalypse Now when I was in high school. And I wasn't a racialist at the time. Stop second-guessing my motives, Linder. You don't know me.

Oh, would I? Do you own a crystal ball, Linder? I happen to like Mendelssohn's music, and he was a Jew. I also think Joel and Ethan Coen have made some great films, and they're Jews. What do you have to say about that, smart guy?
Sure. Could be. But the creature I describe does exist, whether or not you are he.

I have to fight until people admit that it is legitimate not to like Ride of the Valkyries. Actually, I don't hate it in the way I hate some stuff, I just find it unremarkable and mildly irritating.
