USA belongs to a handful of men who also control the media. Look at General Electric. It produces nuclear weapons for the Pentagon and also owns the NBC News cable channel, which is a very sophisticated censure apparatus, intrinsic to the system. It's genius. It's like an electronic cage around the nation which blocks information from getting through.

I regard monotheism as the greatest disaster ever to befall the human race.

Art is always subject to change in a moment by somebody who's strong enough to shed new light on it.
My psychology belongs to everyone.
