 I have a lot of faith, hope and love for my fellow NYC'ers. 
  
 I have seen how the Yuppie Scum come in and ruin establishments 
 and entire neighborhoods all the way back to the Mudd Club and 
 SoHo. I was raised in the City, but I love the charm and soul of

 DIE YUPPIE SCUM!!!!

 them to fight in what would be an unwinable urban guerilla 
 war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever 
 greater instability."
