32. So many people are uninvested, hopeless, cynical, etc.

I'm surprised to see that quote from Zappa.

I'm much more familiar with this one:

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."

So often paired with this one from Twain:

"If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it."

If I had a dime for every twenty-something toocoolforpolitics type who regurgitated that crap I'd be filthy rich.


The poor and oppressed are often at their limit just surviving so I don't fault them.
