quote of the day

[dolmena]

* When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can

I'm not sure Jobs counts as "this generation..." but I certainly identify with the idea that it's sort of comforting to imagine conspiracy rather than contemplate widespread stupidity.
