I banged this out on a typewriter in 1989 using the 2 finger hunt and peck method i still use today. Not a single error on the whole sheet!! It's the cover image to a collection about how people are influence by mass media. If I were doing it today I'd include "newsfeed and chatroom. Oh yes, this IS a photograph, on film even.

    Here's a general rule of thumb, Bruce...if it's MY opinion, it's valid. That being said, IMO, this rocks.

    "You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'"
