First

"In the ‘60s, the Smothers Brothers were very outspoken about changing the world.  Today the people are cynical and no one has any spirit.  Now, during the strangest time in the history of the world, we consume ourselves with trivia in the news.  We have the illusion of freedom of speech, but nobody as saying anything important.  Every time they take a poll, I wonder if they’re polling the Jerry Springer audience.  People would rather use the First Amendment to talk crude and rude.  There’s a litany of things we need to speak out about like foreign policy and what’s happening to the environment."
