Quote #100
In the old days it was just a matter of being caught smoking cigarettes in the band room or drinking beer at lunchtime in the parking lot - and those crimes were serious, at the time, but they were not so serious as to get you expelled from the system forever. That is the hallmark of the Reagan Administration - a Punishment Ethic that permeates the whole infrastructure of American life and eventually gets down to George Orwell's notion, in Animal Farm, that 'all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.'
