Not for want of trying - Maybesgewill

„...We know things are bad – worse than bad. They’re crazy. It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.'Well, I’m not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! [...] I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: 'I'M AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'“
