"I am not a number, I am a man, a free man!"
Patrick McGoohan, The Prisoner

"I'm walking along the Queen's Walk on the Thames very late at night. No one is around. I turn into Gabriels Wharf and look again at the facades painted on the side of the brick wall above the real shops. They remind me of the Village in The Prisoner. A security guard suddenly approaches from nowhere and asks where I'm going. He gestures to his walkie-talkie, "Control told me you were coming".
I realise it's time to go back to my room."
Christopher Malbonce, Tacking Down the Horizon

"You know there's only a handful of people actually run everything. That's true, it's provable. I'm not a conspiracy nut. There's a tiny elite of people who run all these corporations including the mainstream media. I have a feeling that whoever's elected president, no matter what there promises are on the campaign trail, blah blah blah, when you win you go into this smoke filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scum-fucks who get you there, a little film screen comes down and a big guy with a cigar says, 'Roll the film' It's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before, suspiciously like the grassy knoll and the screen goes up and they say to the new president, 'Any questions?'"
Bill Hicks, Rant in E-Minor
