Amok V: Ein schlauer Kopf...
...Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised. Does anyone think the Civil War was the least bit civil? If television had existed, you could be sure they would have been there to cover it, or maybe even participate in it, like their violent car chase of Princess Di.
...Did we look for James Huberty's inspiration when he gunned down people at McDonald's? What did Timothy McVeigh like to watch? What about David Koresh, Jim Jones? Do you think entertainment inspired Kip Kinkel, or should we blame the fact that his father bought him the guns he used in the Springfield, Oregon, murders? What inspires Bill Clinton to blow people up in Kosovo? Was it something that Monica Lewinsky said to him? Isn't killing just killing, regardless if it's in Vietnam or Jonesboro, Arkansas? Why do we justify one, just because it seems to be for the right reasons?
...Deep down, most adults hate people who go against the grain. It's comical that people are naive enough to have forgotten Elvis, Jim Morrison and Ozzy so quickly. All of them were subjected to the same age-old arguments, scrutiny and prejudice.
...the devil we blame our atrocities on is really just each one of us.

Alle Zitate: Marilyn Manson. Als prominentere Stimme der auch gestern wieder ordentlich gescholtenen «Hassindustrie» (Musik, PC-Games und Videos) spricht er hier von Moral, Vernunft und besteht ganz unbequem auf persönliche Verantwortung.
