“Stockholm Syndrome” - Muse
Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed. The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28, 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, and even defended them after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.

“The Healing Game” - Van Morrison
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil.

Wicked, restraining, punishing? Apparently Thomas Paine thinks I’m into S&M.
Ok, Tom. Have it your way. This could be fun. The “safety word” is Politburo.

It’s moderately amusing to see people getting excited about things today that I got tired of back during the Clinton administration.
People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people

Why would I be afraid of a bunch of people that watch Dancing With The Stars, wear pajama pants to the grocery store and would pay $4.99 for an iPhone app that just has an image of a candle? Yeah, you’re some scary fuckers.
