We're irresistibly drawn
to that almost orgiastic state...

:19:06
created out of death
and destruction.

:19:09
It's in all of us.
We revel in it.

:19:14
Sure, the media tries to put
a sad face on these things,

:19:17
painting them up
as great human tragedies.

:19:20
But we all know the function
of the media has never been...

:19:22
to eliminate the evils
of the world, no.

:19:25
Their job is to persuade us
to accept those evils and
get used to living with them.

:19:30
The powers that be want us
to be passive observers.

:19:34
Hey, you got a match?
:19:39
And they haven't given us
any other options...

:19:41
outside the occasional,
purely symbolic,

:19:44
participatory act
of voting.

:19:47
You want the puppet on the right
or the puppet on the left?

:19:52
I feel that the time has come
to project my own...

:19:55
inadequacies
and dissatisfactions...

:19:57
into the sociopolitical
and scientific schemes,

:20:01
Let my own lack of a voice
be heard.
