david- watch natural born killers- the 2 m.c.s kill people because 
they beleive that their victims are dead in sin and walking around 
oblivisouly- in a sense phoniness. nbk also has alot to say about how 
much the media can fuck with people's idea's of things. haven't seen 
Six degrees of seperation yet. as soon as my parents are gone one 
nite i will rent it. the mcs in nbks weren't inspired by catcher, but 
asimilair line of thoughton a larger scale.
