The Butcher's Bill

We're always crying that we want to be free. but when the shadow of danger looms, and when the mob scents fear: we collectively gasp; we shut our eyes; we abandon our convictions; we grovel and crawl before the great seal; we prostrate ourselves before the all-seeing eye of the god of greed and poverty and ownership. ideology abandoned. culture abolished. families destroyed. psychoses intensified. consumerist freedom! limbs and organs decimated. lives ruined. spread our disease.
