If he wants to drive a Navigator, let the man drive a navigator. Middle Eastern Genocide is not only a heavy handed and ignorant statement, it shows a lackadaisical dedication to your causes, which just so happen to be en vogue. Que Imagina, right? Is this more about a genuine care for the issues at hand, or for you to appease your political fashionista fanbase?
