  Oh boy. Heres an original idea -- according to this trailer, detective show Cold Case is featuring crime in Chinatown in tomorrows episode. From what I gather from the trailer, the plot will be rife with Asian gangsters and lots of Chinese people doing some sort of mysterious, ancient rituals.  Wait, wait, Ive ...

• Exploitation is a Curse

  
  Perfect Argument — Authority: 153

• Levi’s Abusing Walt Whitman?

  
  Prometheus Unbound — Authority: 143
  I think I dislike this use of Walt Whitman. It feels like a debasement of his poetry—like using the Bible or the Bhagavad Gita to sell soda.
