I understand now the subversive danger of our own Mike Fucking Schoen, whose mother-fucking mother-superior attitude prances in here and scolds us for not expressing our creativity in our pants, on bridges or through other acts of social destruction. I see; as long as we don't talk about things. We need to be animals without dialog. It's this dangerous dynamic, grasped so clearly so long ago. But I will resist. I am not an animal - I am a human being!
"After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp, and fashioned them at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided: men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting: such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd."
-Alexis de Tocqueville
This man wants to be your Shepherd in Chief. Mike Fucking Schoen will vote for him.
