[kj] chicago?

[The Exorcist]

I knew I was gonna get hammered on this. LOL

But being the at times "kind hearted" person that I am *cough cough*. 
I am questioning my opinion
of them  due to the fact that I raised the bar to fucking high.

I've made my opinion about them clear on those 2 nights and they were 
so damn easy to rip.
Especially how they set up the set list from the few songs I've heard.

Yet, I linger, I linger.

The perils of being a softy!

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is 
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the 
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
