Hunter Thompson knows the Truth

"In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly 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."
—Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt, 1979

There is something entirely relaxing about reading Hunter S. Thompson literature. It makes me believe like I'm not completely wrong, I just see the world maybe as actual reality. What baffles me is how people are mostly content in this country, as if the serious issues such as loss of freedom, the slow and obvious death of our planet, disgusting corporate greed, and the shameful loss of individuality are as real and important as the need to have an iPhone.

"The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic."
-Hunter S. Thompson, Kingdom of Fear, 2004
