What you generally get from politicians is “Vote for me or we shall all perish!” In a puff of smoke, or rising waters. You know, nineteen guys with box cutters brought down the Twin Towers. Are we supposed to go to war until there’s not nineteen guys that want to do damage to us? One day, two assholes throw pumpkins off an overpass, you see those giant ten-foot chain-link fences. Two vandals out of millions of people can fuck up your life in ways you can’t even imagine. There is no way to fool-proof the world. You cannot out-engineer crazy.
— Jon Stewart, in the November 15 issue of Rolling Stone.
