Strong Verbs Are Just Better

I just wrote an alliterative tirade in the style of Wulfstan, bemoaning the social evils of drunkenness in Australia.

Witness:

Hooligans and hoons, racists and rioters, misogynists and misanthropes, criminals and crooks, lushes and lechers, and those who, all too often, embarrass the establishment, with drunkenness, which they should defend.

I wouldn't have anyone in mind for the last clause... no, not at all... *cough*
