“I’m a social anarchist with a healthy disdain for authority.”
“How does that manifest itself in your life?”
“Martin Luther King said that power is never voluntarily relinquished by those who hold it, certainly not on moral principles. So to give a little vitality to George Orwell’s Animal Farm the world should be repopulated with man eating tigers.”
“Was there any defining event that made you think this way?”
“No, I think everybody in this country raised on pop culture and promises of the holy land, and chariots to carry us off to create glory don’t end up where I’m at. I think it was the French symbolist poets who told us ‘We don’t ascend to our heights, we’re eaten away to them’. It’s a series of tearing away of myths and illusions about what our society and culture is really about.”
“I know what you mean.”
“Perhaps. I wish you did.”
