Man, I see in this country the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire nation thinking about money, being kiasu; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd be the perfect humans, a peaceful and fair place, and rich, and equal. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
