I've said it before - if you're going to construct your own version of reality and do everything possible to avoid, you know, actual reality, why would your fantasy land be such a miserable place where:
1. There are bogeymen around every corner (the elitist left, people with educations)
2. Everyone is out to get you (college-aged women, skinny people, sushi eaters)
3. Everyone and everything is designed to tear apart the world you think you knew even though that make-believe world never actually existed (Asians in Schofield like being called chinks)
4. Your failures are the fault of anyone or everyone else, but mostly the elitists who read and stuff. (Damn chair, damn belt, damn stupid people who don't buy my insurance)
As long as you're going to live in a dream world, why not make it a place where everything is awesome?
Poor Al. Thinking what you're told to think tends to fly in the face of being a 'contrarian' or even an amateur futurist, but if anyone actually pointed that contradiction out it would only be another left-wing conspiracy.
