Some days, I'm with that. Other days, I think, like, "programmed" ?
Bulldinky. They chose it. There's a ton of information out there.
More than ever - and fully available in Turlock. You no longer need
to be close to a print copy of The Village Voice. A ton of information,
and money, and privelege. They're choosing ignorance. Base high
school peer pressure, never gotten over.

Boo hoo hoo. These are people with access to more money and leisure time 
than any general society before. I didn't see a whole lot of people diggin'
in the dirt for grains of rice out there in Turlock - what I saw was a disgusting
display of gross materialism. They all want this system - freedom, yeah! - let 'em 
choke on it.

Give it up. You laughed, that's all that matters.

Let's hear it for laughter. No need for Xanax.
