"The way society deals with anything that is threatening to it is by capitalizing on it.  Society makes it a trend, a fad, to the extent that it takes all the meaning out of it, and it pawns it to death."

        "Look what the Conspiracy has done to 95% of your heroes, your religious leaders, your rock stars, all your once-faves.  It has taken them and hammered them into the groung with promotion ands money they know not how to spend; it broils their brains in TV lights and saps from them all time needed for their true calling while turning them into mere self-parodies.  It starts with the leader and from there infects the hierarchy, then the followers... ultimately, the planet itself."
