• Democracy, or "majority rules," is another trick of our society to force us to do things we don't want to do. Even if we actually lived in a pure democracy (and the system we do live in is not even close), where everyone got a single vote on every subject, forcing the minority to obey the majority is no different to one man, if he had the power, forcing everyone else to do what he wanted them to-simply because he could.

• Little brats yellin 'Trick or Treat' all through my screen door,
  When y'all should be at home sleep,
  Instead of at my front porch 15 deep.
  The jack o' lantern came in handy...
  I can turn my porch light out like I ain't got no candy.
  But ain't that somethin?
  You buy a Halloween costume and a pumpkin,
  Almost gave your children a heart attack.
  It's a tradition, but who the hell started that?
