Quote

"We are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world." - Terence McKenna

Rod is a good man
A good Australian, he
Has fought the good fight.

A bloke did that two
Thousand years ago and they
Di'n't thank him for it.
