| <blockquote>We went too far with this technology, we lost our self-respect. Because this is media, man. It's evil, prying, spying media. But we want it and use it anyway, because we think we've got to be informed. We're compelled to pay total attention to everything. Even things we have no goddamn right or business paying any attention to."</blockquote> | <blockquote>We went too far with this technology, we lost our self-respect. Because this is media, man.
