I wish I could shove a copy of my Rudyard Kipling poem collection into every head in America. The Gods of the Copybook Headings summarizes our present problems better than any text I've read. Prepare for the terror and slaughter, because the Gods of the Copybook Headings will return.
Everybody knows Kipling wrote "something racist" but nobody knows he grew up in India and preferred the native Indians to most englishmen. He had a tonne of respect for the Indians, but was somehow still a huge racist. Somehow.

Yeah, that's what happens when you write a poem satirizing the White Man's Burden and people take it as sincere.
