"We live in dangerous times."
"Our armies are powerful, and we spend billions of dollars a year on new prisons, yet our lives are still ruled by fear. We are like pygmies lost in a maze. We are not at War, we are having a nervous breakdown."

4. It's early in the morning...
... so maybe the point was missed. I wanted to see if people recognized the quote.

I'm interested in the subject of this country's collective fears, and I wanted to see how people up at this hour responded.

Cheers.
