Best quote from article : "America is a culture predicated on an endless marathon toward the promised land of ease. We goad our populace along with fear of illness and death, fear of pain, fear of suffering, fear of failure. Ten minutes of television is enough to convince you that deadly enemies are lurking around every corner. We are ever layering quick fix upon quick fix, self-medicating, and digging ourselves deeper and deeper into dark holes. Wondering why we need to scream, freak out, and wave the white flag."
