The New York Burden
''With apologies to Rudyard Kipling, by Richard Rabinowitz''

This poem is based on the controversial White Man’s Burden
, a pro-imperial rant that some might see as racist.. However, I am not a racist. I chose to amend this poem because I support New York City and what it stands for, a multicultural city which has institutions helping people around the globe. Furthermore, I am upset that certain dictatorships are being allowed to run reckless and trample human rights over some bigger countries’ need for money. While money is, indeed, one of the things NYC stands for, I feel that economies have more to gain from prosperity among the people than from incompetence among a cabal of general(contracted; show full)edia community for the time being, but I'd like to keep my account open because I do change my mind on occasion. You can consider this a Wikibreak. I am, at the moment, dissatisfied with the treatment my celebration of dumb edits to Wikipedia has gotten by the hands of admins and other community members. I also reserve the right to revert changes to my main page. Thank you. <nowiki></nowiki> &mdash;  [[User:Rickyrab|Rickyrab]] | [[User talk:Rickyrab|Talk]] 18:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
