In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile, and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: Not necessarily to Win, but mainly to keep from Losing Completely. We owe it to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep...but we owe it especially to our children, who will have to live with our loss and its long-term consequences.


Hunter S. Thompson, 1972
