Pancho Villa, Bonnie & Clyde
  Billy the Kid, Green Men in Pants

Killers, Murdurers, Abusers
  Criminals on the Run

Glorified by the bully hordes

I think you've got it, Gershon. What are "billy hordes?" That's a new one on me.

Kind of like how I was hoping for the fellow in Breaking Bad. I wonder why we do that? A thought provoking piece my friend.

Don't feel too bad, Richard. I was rooting for him, too. I knew I shouldn't be, but I just couldn't help it!

I guess 'we all' (except you and me perhaps) want to employ our talents in pursuit of a brilliant life of crime and criminal excuses. Pardon me for a moment while I retch... Thank you... That adults laud this kind of trash is way beyond me... Where I come from, --- hmmm, I had better not reveal that anymore. The virture signalers and phony tinsel-towners will descend... Thanks, Richard. :) gw
