Hicks on re-inventing religion and the inspirations in the Book of Isaiah: "Hope for the poor, for the people, is some sort of unnamable, vengeful force, sure to come in the future, prophesied to sweep the current order from the face of the earth." >>

2. from The Interview with Punk Planet

Sander on modern economics, and mass consciousness. "You can say the American masses are all brainwashed, and I can say that's just your middle class anarcho-cynicism." >>
