Quote:Tko nekako, kot v Trainspottingu Johna Hodgea:
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a crappity smacking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of crappity smacking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the crappity smack you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing crappity smacking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, crappity smacked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.
Choose your future.
Choose life.
"The dangers of (societal) coercion have always existed, but they are now acute because of the instruments of coercion that we have put in each other's hands. The riches that can be offered as rewards and the horrors that can be threatened as punishment are so available and so powerful that human existence could become intolerable. Through various forms of bribery, through the kinds of manipulation involved in political and commercial advertising, through police surveillance and tac squads, as well as through the ever-increasing weaponry of seek-and-destroy and super bombs, we have become more at the mercy of each other than ever, even more so than earlier tribes were at the mercy of their gods of earth, water, fire, and air. In my view, only the widest possible expansion of teaching and learning will enable people, both individually and collectively, to act on the basis of their own comprehensive understanding rather than on the basis of massive and ubiquitous coercion" (Frank Oppenheimer).
