"Our armies are powerful, and we spend billions of dollars a year on new prisons, yet our lives are still ruled by fear. We are like pygmies lost in a maze. We are not at War, we are having a nervous breakdown."

... so maybe the point was missed. I wanted to see if people recognized the quote.
I'm interested in the subject of this country's collective fears, and I wanted to see how people up at this hour responded.
Cheers.
