You feel so good coming out, and your approach to everything is suddenly really clear.” ThinkingKnowsWayFeelsChurchMorningClearApproachMassSittingComing Out Author:Mark Wahlberg
“I’ve always hated Mondays, the whole lot of them. Too much whiplash, snapping the tired masses to attention.

“Young people today seem to be coming around to the idea it really doesn’t matter which politician or political party you vote for; and they’re catching on that it doesn’t even matter if you don’t vote because they have realized modern elections are just a way for the 1% to appease the 99% – a way to keep the masses in line by making them believe they’ve had their say, thereby perpetuating the lie that democracy continues.” PeopleIfsWayBelieveIdeasMatterSeemsTodayYoungPoliticalLyingLinesPartyDemocracyModernPoliticianMassVoteElectionPolitical PartiesCatchingAppeasePerpetuatingCatching On Author:James Morcan
“The economy is still substantially that of the fur trade, still based on the same general kinds of commercial items: technology, weapons, ornaments, novelties, and drugs. The one great difference is that by now the revolution has deprived the mass of consumers of any independent access to the staples of life: clothing, shelter, food, even water. Air access remains the only necessity that the average user can still get for himself, and the revolution has imposed a heavy tax on that by way of pollution. Commercial conquest is far more thorough and final than military defeat.” WayKindStillsWaterDifferencesTechnologyEconomyAirMilitaryRevolutionDrugTaxesWeaponsMassIndependentRemainsTradeFinalsDefeatAverageHeavyAccessConsumersClothingsUsersPollutionShelterConsumerismConquestItemsDeprivedNoveltyFurThoroughOrnamentsOverconsumptionStaples Book:The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture Source: The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture
“Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.” PeopleThinkingMenWayHas BeensArtSometimesLiteratureIndividualLeaderMassAccountsAverageDepartmentImmenseSuperiorityGreat LeaderExhibitsLiterature And Art Book:Prose Works 1892: Speciman Days Source: Prose Works 1892: Speciman Days
