It may be regarded as a fundamental principle that we
hate to the same extent we have first
loved. How, then do I hate what I've derisively called
the system if I havn't first greatly loved it? I've hungered for a glimpse of man's nobility; and, I believe I've seen it. But, the price is always too high, it's just so very high. I hate humanity because, it's in the
hating that I find the greatest expression for my frustrated love.
We, The People: these words still shiver my skin.
We, the people have striven so high, and have fallen so low,
far too low for me. Man's institutions of greatness have become twisted, and corrupted into what William Blake called [i[wheel without wheel with cog tyrannic[/i], a bureaucratic system of quiet tyranny. I repudiate this monstrosity as only a grieving lover can.
