Another Episode of Aspiring Rapper Update

From The Other McCain: Aspiring Rapper Update.

Skating, bowling, laser tag — the Metro Fun Center on Atlanta’s south side has lots of entertainment, including live gunfire.

An argument over a bowling ball led to a shooting death. A. Bowling. Ball.

Incidentally, what is now Metropolitan Parkway used to be called Stewart Avenue, but the city changed it because it was named for Confederate Gen. A.P. Stewart, who commanded a corps in Hood’s army during the battles around Atlanta in 1864. Lots of other streets around Atlanta have been similarly renamed, although how exactly this erasure of history has improved anyone’s quality of life is uncertain.

Civilization was nice while it lasted. Civilization was built on the promise of security through law and order. Now? We live in Hobbes' state of war, in which life is "nasty, brutish, and short."
