Hunter S. Thompson // "One of the most important things is to recognize that we do have this mounting violence in us, and then to find the reasons — and then once you find that, it’s like curing a boil… The same venom that [they] are spitting out in public, a lot of people are just keeping bottled up in private. I think this technological science of obsolescence...the fact that people are becoming obsolete...the people who are most affected by this technological obsolescence are the ones least capable of understanding the reasons for it. So the venom builds up much quicker...it feeds on their ignorance. Until you recognize what’s happening, what makes you do these wild things…it’s like an albatross around your neck."
