Why Boner?

One of the many queries that my mother and my internet girlfriend who lives in Canada pose to me:

"Why study such a reprehensible man?  Why not chronicle the history of someone far more noble--like Henry Ford?"

To you--and them--I can only say that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

But don't take my word for it.

Here is an excerpt from Boner's long out of print memoir, Tonight, We Duel:

"I oft enjoy curling up by the fireside,

with my negroes giving me a well-earned back rub,

and my wife sobbing uncontrollably on her fainting couch,

and crack open one of the numerous volumes of World History

I have on my shelves--right next to that human boy skull.

History is what makes us who we are.  Without History,

we would be nothing more than beasts,

or lower than beasts,

like these black skinned devils who are currently

rubbing their half-dark half-light hands on my spine."

Happy Halloween!
