BELIEFS
Something of a trap
Chapter 15
When Wayne had finished speaking, the punks replied to him, as follows:
2“Friend Wayne, we are touched by your concern for our well-being,
3“But you have not persuaded us of your belief,
4“Which is contrary to our belief,
5“No matter how much we respect your willingness to die for it.
6“We would like to let you go free,
7“Back to kRio or wherever you came from,
8“But we cannot do that,
9“Because if a man is willing to die for the belief that no belief is worth dying for,
10“He is a stupid man,
11“Even lstupider than the punk writers of Punk City,
12“And too stupid to live.
13“That is why we have decided that you must mdie for your belief,
14“In an appropriately stupid way,
15“Like ncrucifixion.”
