"Alas!"

"Alas! regardless of their doom,

The little victims play;

No sense have they of ills to come,

Nor care beyond to-day..."

- Thomas Gray,

“We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal.”

- Carl Bernstein
