I can quote people as well...

Quote:
One man free, expressing his own thoughts and point of view, might somehow inspire others to think for themselves and listen to that voice of reason inside them, and then perhaps, one by one we will awaken from this dream of lies and illusions that the world, the governments and their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, feeds us continuously over fifty-two channels, twenty-four hours a day.

What I realised was that they don't want the people to be awake. The elite ruling class wants us asleep so we'll remain a docile, apathetic herd of passive consumers and non-participants in the true agendas of our governments, which is to keep us separate and present an image of a world filled with unresolvable problems, that they, and only they, might somewhere, in the never-arriving future, may be able to solve. Just stay asleep, America. Keep watching television. Keep paying attention to the infinite witnesses of illusion we provide you over "Lucifers Dream Box".

The herd has been pacified by our charade of concern as we pose the two most idiotic questions imaginable - "Is television becoming too violent?" and "Is television becoming too promiscuous?" The answer, my friends, is this: television is too stupid. It treats us like morons. Case closed.


-- Bill Hicks, 1993

Yes, I am insulting people. I am calling them morons and fucktards and castign doubt on their ancestry. Why? Because they are failing to become more than the "Lucifers Dream Box" wants them to be. They are acting as the lowest common denominator to which the goggle box strives to lower itself with every passing broadcast.

Why do I care? Because I have been known to hang out on these boards and frequent the same virtual spaces as the people to whom I address rants such as the above. And I guess the company one keeps reflects upon oneself so I sort of hope these pinheads start to use their brains (which, contrary to all indications, I am sure they possess) and do some research of their own, if onyl for my own apearance's sake.
