   "In his Thanksgiving prayer, Burroughs used poetry
to express his distaste with a nation that had long
disgusted him. He saw America as a nation of spoiled,
bitter people selfishly taking and taking until
nothing was left to steal -- and then complaining
about it. He felt surrounded by 'finks' who couldn't
keep to themselves. 

[...]

   "Somewhere in this great nation, someone is doing
something that makes them feel good. And somewhere
else, another person is hating them for it. Instead of
ignoring the feelings of jealousy that drive them
(since they don't have the nerve to do it themselves),
they try to make damn sure that everyone lives a life
governed by a set of rules that attempt to make sure
that each person on this green earth is as miserable
as they are...."
