Yea, but there are times when you just have to
put down your John Greenleaf Whittier, dis-
connect yourself from your  tube of  "Summer
Snow", or whatever your version of connection
to the system might be, and fight, even if you
only have sticks and les paves. Better to go
down feckless and naive in the streets than in
Room 101, waiting for O'Brien to turn up the
voltage But I agree, the main battle takes place
between your ears.

. Of course, there's always Peace and Love.

from the fabulous movie In the Loop

Lt. Gen. George Miller: [to Karen, about Linton Barwick ] 'He's got
his little cannons and he's got his little guns, and... This is the
problem with civilians wanting to go to war. Once you've been there,
once you've seen it, you never want to go again unless you absolutely
fucking have to. It's like France.'
