wealthy with time, mortgaged to the hilt

I read an interesting article yesterday, with a couple of points that caught my attention as relevant to my own life at the moment, and want to jot down some of the relevant bits for future reference.

I noticed a headline of this article the newspaper in the tea room this morning:

We don't want to work with these thugs

I flicked through to read it, maybe wishfully wondering if there might be something involving other muslims rejecting the actions of these hotheads (which would be a very useful development right about now).  There wasn't anything along those lines, not sure why i thought there might be, but instead what did jump out at me was the quote: "We don't want them here," he said. "Not all Muslims are terrorists, we know that. But beating up television crews . . . that's just un-Australian."

*mutters*

*bangs head on desk a few more times*

Okay, now i'm quite sympathetic to the idea of spontaneous grass-roots social sanctions and cold shoulders against people who behave in unacceptably violent and antisocial ways, in fact i can imagine circumstances where i'd like to see it happen more often, but with all due respect to passionately held views and people's right to express them in whatever language they deem appropriate, i just have to say WILL YOU PLEASE STOP USING THAT FUCKING IDIOTIC WORD YOU MINDLESS SLOGAN SPOUTING CLICHE PARROTING CRETINS!!!!!

Thank you.
