The test subject does not show any emotional response to traditional morals and family values. He shows no motivational reaction to monetary stimulation. He feels no allegiance to a country, moreso he views a country as merely an idea and some lines. He feels no obligation towards his social contract with the government, and he refuses the notion to serve his nation. He selfishly lives for his own happiness and refuses to relinquish even the slightest bit of his liberty. He is a danger to basic societal functions and should be heavily sedated.

Sounds Like: "To the unfamiliar, the above headline might sound like a strange books-on-tape-meets-Reader’s Digest scenario or maybe a fast-forwarded History Channel transcript. It’s neither; instead, it means one of Springfield’s wildest bands, The Short Histories of Powerful Nations, is ready to blow out a car speaker or eight."
"If you haven't seen a Short Histories show, you're missing one of the more unusual and riveting live shows in Springfield, and the group's Underground show was one of its best."
-The FourFour.com

"Ever wonder what Fugazi would sound like if Ian Mackaye was a heroin addict instead of the father of the straight-edge movement?"- Andrew Dietz, New Madrid
