    Now calm down my friend. We can’t blame the public for such ills. Just like we can’t blame the consumer for end-stage capitalism.

    “It’s not our fault! There should be laws against such things!”, scream the downtrodden masses. The masses who vote for and finance the means of our downfall.

    “You don’t understand! We must legislate morality!”

    Funny. When we were 80s punkers we laughed aloud at notions of legislating morals. “What a waste of time you idiots!”, we laughed. Ha. Ha.
