1. The worst part is,that we are living in a society.

   Whatever most people choose to do,WE have to do it too.

   Our lives are dictated by WEAK and AVERAGE people who have no respect for themselves or the world.

   They are corporate PAWNS that are manipulated into a CONSUMER mentality.

   Nothing more but ROBOTS that are brainwashed to CONSUME and SPEND MONEY.
