Well the thing is that under the [Ronald] Reagan administration, excesses have occurred in terms of over regulating certain types of behavior, and excesses have occurred in the opposite direction, in de-regulating other types of behavior. As a matter of fact, if they continue to regulate the airlines, we might have safer skies, and if they slack off on the radio, we might have better radio. If they just use it as a threat, eventually there's going to be another test case like the one that the 7 dirty words ruling came out of, and basically, its extortion.

Frank ZappaWe live in a very special time right now. At no other time in history has there been such mass disillusionment in terms of reliance on governing functions. Most people donโt want to come to terms with that. Itโs been proven over and over again that the emperor isnโt wearing any clothes, but most people donโt like to look at naked emperors. In the process of turning around to avert their eyes, they saw the discotheques and a few other things and latched onto them.
