The National Distrust Of The Contemplative Temperament

Power Broken Into A Thousand Pieces Can Be Hidden And Disowned. If No Individual Or Institution Possesses The Authority To Act Without Of Everybody Else In The Room, Then Nobody Is At Fault If Anything Goes Wrong.

At This Late Stage In The History Of American Capitalism I'm Not Sure I Know How Much Testimony Still Needs To Be Presented To Establish The Relation Between Profit And Theft.

The World Goes On As Before, And It Turns Out That Nobody Else Seems To To Notice The Unbearable Lightness Of Being.

It Is The Fear Of Death - 24/7 In Every Shade Of Hospital White And Doomsday Black--that Sells The Pharmaceutical, Political, Financial, Film, And Food Product Promising To Make Good The Wish To Live Forever.

Whether Lawyer, Politician Or Executive, The American Who Knows What's Good For His Career Seeks An Institutional Rather Than An Individual Identity. He Becomes The Man From Nbc Or Ibm. The Institutional Imprint Furnishes Him With Pension, Meaning, Proofs Of Existence. A Man Without A Company Name Is A Man Without A Country.
