who said it? (no Googling)

"Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders. The Goliath of totalitarianism will be brought down by the David of the microchip."

Sarge said...: Perhaps that dude who wrote God and Man at Yale? What was his name? Buckley?

I'll go with Buckley.

But maybe it was Harry Carey? He could wax poetical sometimes...; July 9, 2008 at 6:51 PM

k-mad said...: Hmmm, I guess you did. Yeah, that's kinda unfair. I guess these contests should be run more like a business.; July 10, 2008 at 1:09 PM
Fungster said...: Yeah, but Smiff mentioned like 8 choices or sumthin. Corms only went with one. Derefore, Corms wins by being precise.; July 10, 2008 at 2:32 PM

A lotta people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a buncha unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll give ya an example, show ya what I mean. Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like, "plate" -- or "shrimp" -- or "plate of shrimp" -- out of the blue, no explanation. No point looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

"You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda Triangles, UFOs, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing? Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine.... People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America, thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something: there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well, where did all these people come from? Hmm? I'll tell you where: the future. Where did all these people disappear to: hmmm? the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really... yeah, you got it! Time machines!"
