We're kept so busy focusing on things that are extremely mundane while the people that possess the real power are deciding what our reality's going to be.

If you're following your heart, you're moving in the right direction.

That's one of the most bold smacks in the face in this country. It's a way to say, Look, we just don't even care about you, the price of healthcare in this country.

We literally have some of us in the modern culture trying their best to stomp out every other way of life, really. People in tribes are depicted as completely primitive and crazy. The way that we live is very pigheaded and very unaccepting of other ways of life, especially in America.

We're kept scrambling so much that we don't have time to really study and analyze and understand the way that power really works in this country.

If you look at it on just a very cold scale, corporations and the government do not care about the poor. So in what's considered a poor area, you got to look at things. What's going on there? The actual environment is sick, and sickly, and causes illness.

Business is cold and harsh. Business doesn't consider your personal needs or the ends of your family. Business doesn't allow you to keep to your job after you slaved at a place for 20+ years. Rather than increase your benefits, business cuts you out of the job situation so that you're job-hunting, off to find a far less prestigious position.
