9. Again, I paraphrase from Hunter S. Thompson's "Hell's Angels":
"They will be the first to be thrown in jail or shot if the people they agree with ever come to power."

According to Thompson, the Angels -- at least at the leadership level -- were big supporters of the Vietnam War. I have never understood why (many) bikers, a group that prides itself of being anti-establishment and "freedom loving," would support Republicans and other so-called "establishment" types.
