Text: 
"After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a SCAB, A SCAB is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water-logged brain and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts he carries a tumor of rotten principles. A strikebreaker is a traitor to his God, his country, his family and his class!" -- Jack London, author, 1904
