Via Neil Gaiman: one American city is going to spend $273000 this year to combat Goth culture.

Goths -- kids who tend to wear black and think dark thoughts -- are an at-risk group of students, said Blue Springs Police Officer Colby Lalli. The students who shot and killed 13 people in 1999 at Columbine High School in Colorado allegedly were attracted to Goth culture.

"It's not just the clothes they wear," Lalli said. "We're seeing kids on the unit, whether it be suicide or homicide, they're just one more culture in our community that is at big risk, and we need to deal with that. We need to educate people."

Uh... huh. Sure. Nice generalization there, eh? Goth = dangerous and likely to go on a killing spree.
And let's go and have thought police. Let's go and tell people how they should think. "Hey, you! Think happy thoughts!"
I hate to think of the measures they will take to prevent people from being goth, and how much worse said measures will make the so-called problem.

Heh. Generalizations are always so amusing to see. Like the generalization that all furries are psychopathic porn obsessed nutcases

NB: One of the above is likely to be true.

Anyway can you imagine that paragon of Gothness Paz going on a shooting spree?
