The best sort of compliment I could receive is that I view MTV as a digital nanny for the retarded and Rolling Stone magazine as perfect for coating your bird cage with. The mass normalization of shallow, decadent youth culture has been an unmitigated disaster less deadly than the Black Death but no less effective in depriving civilization of mental resources simply by peacefully rendering them obsolete. Every cretin and wanna-be has to seek their salvation in easy sex, imbecilic preoccupations and wholesale intellectual deprivation.

Voting's based on the delusion that one politician differs from another.

An organized crime syndicate could do everything the federal government does and do it with greater efficiency.

Politics in this country is based on the unspoken understanding that honesty must be avoided at all costs. Subservience to feel-good slogans and assembly-line illusion always assumes top priority. If every politician suddenly started telling the truth the entire political system would collapse immediately.
