"Here is my final point. About drugs, about alcohol, about pornography and smoking and everything else. What business is it of yours what I do, read, buy, see, say, think, who I fuck, what I take into my body - as long as I do not harm another human being on this planet?" -Bill Hicks (R.I.P.)


"In the wake of our existence, in our parades and in our dances; touch, see and behold the wisdom of the party program. Essential in our lifetime and irresistible in our touch, the great spirits proclaim that capitalism is indeed organized crime and we are all the victims.
.........
I got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break.
Grab us by the throat and shake the life away. Human life is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe. And yeah, I like eating excrement, not getting paid for it. Play the guilt, play the fear and play the anxiety. Seduced by the opportunity and robbed of hope. Alien nation is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe. Marginalize away the joy and sell us boredom. And yeah, I like working doing nothing, not making anything. Blame the poor, blame the uneducated and blame the sick. I got a bone to pick and a few to break. I took the first bus out of Coca-Cola city...It made me feel all nauseous and shitty. I took the first bus out of Shell town...'Cause they didn't want me all hanging around. I took the first bus. Let's take the first bus out of here. Let's take the first bus out of here. Let's take the first bus out of here." -Refused, "The Shape Of Punk To Come"


"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist is delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -Carl Sagan


"Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuck-offs and misfits; a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage." -Hunter S. Thompson


"Critics are men who sit and watch a battle from a high place and come down to shoot the survivors."
-Ernest Hemingway
