This blog shares its title with the autobiography of radical individualist and newsletter publisher Frank Chodorov (1887-1966), in whose memory it is also dedicated.
"Never before in history have slaves been so well fed, thoroughly medicated, lavishly entertained. But we are slaves nonetheless."
-- Edward Abbey

Many thanks! I enjoyed Gilliam's movie tremendously, and had no idea about this inspiration. The plot is remarkably similar.
Hi, Wally. The movie was remarkable. I can't say I would use the word "enjoy," however. (smile)
