ABSTRACT

“My God! I’m thinking, what incredible shit we put up with most of our lives — the domestic routine, the stupid and useless and degrading jobs, the insufferable arrogance of elected officials, the crafty cheating and the slimy advertising of the businessmen, the tedious wars in which we kill our buddies instead of our real enemies back home in the capital . . . what intolerable garbage and what utterly useless crap we bury ourselves in day by day. . . . The degree of personal freedom that exists in a society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of society than by its laws or its form of government. . . . In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we’ve had to kill people.”—Theodore Kaczynski 1
