But it’s a very serious problem. The older generation is ruling ruthlessly. I feel that this is a terrible threat to our civilization. It’s the greed of huge companies and huge organizations which control life in a kind of a brutal way, and therefore all of my sympathies are with the young people. I hope something can be done about it. It’s gotten worse and worse, somehow, because physical science has given us more and more terrible deadly weapons, and the human spirit has been destroyed in so many cases, so what’s the use of having the most powerful country in the world if we have killed the soul. It’s of no use.

Musical Yout' Editor Reminisces:
Yeah, we gave it a shot, but no one would play it in 1984, due to the Fairness Doctrine.
Then all the bass players died.
Of course, "Nation of Sheep" was from a book that was twenty yrs. old in '84. Same shit, different crap.
I don't know if you read Scott Horton. I think this is pretty good.

The Cynicism Editor Assumes:
The point of having the most powerful nation is to kill the soul & what's left of the mind.
Mind control is always cheaper & easier than physical killing.
Course, mind & soul elimination are important parts in gaining such awful power to begin w/.
