"There's the television. It's all right there, Look, listen, kneel, pray. Commercials! We're not productive anymore. We don't make things anymore. It's all automated. What are we for then? We're consumers. Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen. But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, what are you then? Mentally ill. If you don't buy things: toilet paper, new cars, computerized yo-yos, electrically-operated sexual devices, stereo systems with brain-implanted headphones, screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices, voice-activated computers...That's communication with the outside world. Doctor's discretion. if all of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, a plague of madness. In fact, very few of us here are actually mentally ill. I'm not saying you're not mentally ill, but that's not why you're here. You're here because of the system."
