They tear families apart. They are inherently inorganic. They are evil. There is no evil. If there is evil, we create it. As Pascal says, if we try to make angels, we make devils. That's what we do We create devils. A devil can be nice. It can give you a bit of wine and make you feel a little woozy. But you can have a laugh.

“…it’s hard to resist your own substance, you’d like to stop all this, give yourself time to think about it and listen without difficulty to your heartbeat, but it’s too late for that. This thing can never stop. This enormous steel box is on a collision course; we, inside it, are whirling madly with the machines and the Earth. All together, along with the thousands of little wheels and hammers that never strike at the same time, that make noises which shatter one another, some so violent that they release a kind of silence around them, which makes you feel a little better. You give into noise as you give in to war. As the machines you let yourself go with the two three ideas that are wobbling about at the top of your head. And that’s the end. From then on everything you look at, everything you touch is hard. And everything you still manage to remember more or less becomes as rigid as iron and loses its savor in your thoughts.” Celine, Journey to the End of the Night
“It’s not that I like the empire—I hate it—but there’s nothing I can do about it right now.” Luke Skywalker, Star Wars

Do you mean prison prisons? Like a supermax? Like a lock him up and throw away the key type place? Or do you mean "artificial restriction," whether from internal hinderance or external pressure? Because, frankly, I could use more freedom in my own head space, but there are certainly good arguments for taking certain people out of the general populace for a spell, or longer....
what up jackson? you in nyc? call me!!!!
guess who i pittsburgh?
yes. i mean prisons. i didn't say i had a better alternative. but i'm trying to focus my anger on things that deserve to have anger directed at. and the prison system, i feel, warrants anger I feel greater than something like, for example, the musician Beck. It's a change of focus for me.
